Prolonged exposure to inhaled nitric oxide does not affect haemostasis in piglets

Abstract: Prolonged exposure to iNO at 40[Symbol: see text]ppm did not affect bleeding time or coagulation parameters in healthy piglets. The findings do not support the hypothesis that iNO increases the risk of bleeding in humans.

“…Impaired platelet function is commonly observed in sepsis. All these observations underscore the difficulty in extrapolating clinical bleeding tendency from different studies, and may explain some of the present controversy over effects of iNO on hemostasis in a clinical setting [31].…”

“…In order to settle this issue we investigated the effects of 40 ppm NO inhalation prolonged to 30 h on bleeding time and coagulation parameters in healthy piglets. We consider it unlikely that clinical use of iNO would enhance the risk of bleeding even after prolonged inhalation [31]. Some platelet aggregation tests in different studies were performed using platelet rich plasma (PRP) in which the Hb is removed before the analysis.…”

“…Based on our previous experience with prolonged experimental studies in a porcine model [8], [19], this protocol involved 30 hours of endotoxin exposure using high-dose E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) infusion, which resulted in multiple organ dysfunction after 12–24 hours. This study was intended to mimic the clinical setting, with an initial endotoxin insult and then resuscitative interventions initiated in real time over a prolonged study period.…”

“…We studied 30 domestic piglets, 2 months old, and with a median body weight of 21 kg (range 15–24 kg). We have previously described this model in detail [8], [19]. The piglets were fasted overnight prior to the study.…”

“…New evidence indicates that NO inhalation leads to formation of new compounds which may be carried as thiol groups attached to protein in blood [10]. Another possibility is that inhaled NO acts indirectly through nitrite and nitrate, metabolites which have been shown to elevate over time during exposure to inhaled NO [11]. A growing body of evidence indicates that iNO has no hemodynamic effects on normally perfused tissue, but increases blood flow selectively in ischemic tissue [12].…”
