Nitric oxide (NO) is a naturally occurring endothelial-derived vasodilator that exhibits most of its vasodilatory effects in the pulmonary vasculature.[1] It is frequently indicated for patients with right heart failure and hypoxemia. It exists as a colorless odorless gas, and is administered inhalationally.
Uses
- Pulmonary HTN
- After heart transplant
- Right ventricular failure
Contraindications
Absolute contraindications
Precautions
Pharmacology
Pharmacodynamics
Mechanism of action
Nitric oxide diffuses to smooth muscle of pulmonary vasculature -> activates soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) -> converts GTP to cGMP -> activates protein kinase G -> increases Ca2+ reuptake -> decreased calcium decreasing myosin phosphorylation -> relaxation of smooth muscle.
Adverse effects
Pharmacokinetics
Chemistry and formulation
History
Initially discovered in 1987. Won Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1998.
