Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of inhaled nitric oxide on both
short-term physiology as well as on the development of ischemia-reperfusion lung injury
(IRLI) in the immediate post transplant period. The specific hypothesis is that inhaled NO
post lung transplantation will improve gas exchange/hemodynamic and thus reduce the
development of post transplant IRLI.
