Abstract
Pulsed administration of nitric oxide has proven effective in relieving pulmonary hypertension and in improving oxygenation. With this delivery method the nitric oxide administration to low ventilated lung regions is avoided with subsequent enhancement in oxygenation. This study presents (i) pulsed administration technique for nitric oxide during artificial ventilation, (ii) evaluation of the delivery in an animal model, and (iii) validation of the delivery device in a laboratory setting.
