RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Inhaled Nitric Oxide for Acute Right-Ventricular Dysfunction After Extrapleural Pneumonectomy JF Respiratory Care FD American Association for Respiratory Care SP 1172 OP 1176 VO 51 IS 10 A1 Fernández-Pérez, Evans R A1 Keegan, Mark T A1 Harrison, Barry A YR 2006 UL http://rc.rcjournal.com/content/51/10/1172.abstract AB Increased pulmonary vascular pressure and decreased right-ventricular performance may occur following pneumonectomy. Inhaled nitric oxide decreases right-ventricular afterload and improves cardiac index by selectively decreasing pulmonary vascular resistance without causing systemic hypotension. We report the use of inhaled nitric oxide in a patient with acute right-ventricular dysfunction after extrapleural pneumonectomy.
