Inhaled Nitric Oxide Therapy and Changes in Pulmonary Artery Pulsatility Index During Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Weaning in Cardiogenic Shock Requiring ECPELLA
Background Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) selectively dilates pulmonary vessels and reduces pulmonary vascular resistance, potentially improving right ventricular (RV) function. However, its clinical benefit in patients with cardiogenic shock requiring ECPELLA (i.e., combined Impella® (ABIOMED) and venoarterial extracorpor...
