These results do not support the hypothesis that NO inhalation combined with hyperoxia can alter the main lung-function variables in neonates. However, it may induce an increase in lung vascular protein leakage. The pathophysiologic consequences of this finding remain to be elucidated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
