Effects of Inhaled Nitric Oxide in the Treatment of Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure (AHRF) in Pediatrics
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of nitric oxide for inhalation on the duration of mechanical ventilation in pediatric patients with AHRF.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
|
Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
Patients will receive 5-ppm study gas (nitric oxide for inhalation or placebo) until Day 28 or extubation, whichever comes first. The following will be performed / recorded at specified times during the study: arterial blood gases, ventilator settings, methemoglobin, PRISM III score, and patient positioning. Selected centers will also be performing plasma cytokine assays, broncho-alveolar lavage fluid assays and a 6 month follow-up assessment.
