Paper type

Meta Analysis

Reference

Adhikari NK, Burns KE, Friedrich JO, Granton JT, Cook DJ, Meade MO.
Effect of nitric oxide on oxygenation and mortality in acute lung injury: systematic review and meta-analysis.
British Medical Journal 2007; 334: 779-86

Major Finding

Nitric oxide is associated with limited improvement in oxygenation in patients with ALI or ARDS but confers no mortality benefit and may cause harm.

Point for discussion:

Is this the end of the road for the use of nitric oxide in ARDS?
