Inhaled Nitric Oxide in Prevention/Treatment of Ischemia-Reperfusion Lung Injury Related to Lung Transplantation

• Status: Terminated
• Trial end date: 2006-09-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

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.

• Phase: Phase 3
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
