1 Rebound Pulmonary Hypertension After Inhalation of Nitric Oxide
Andrew M Atz, Ian Adatia, David L Wessel  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 62, Issue 6, Pages (December 1996) DOI: /S (96)

2 Fig. 1 Effect of a 15-minute trial of inhaled nitric oxide (NO) on mean pulmonary artery (PA) pressure. Mean pulmonary artery pressure decreased in all patients. Open circles = changes for the group (mean ± standard error). p = compared with baseline values. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (96) )

3 Fig. 2 Effect of a 15-minute trial of inhaled nitric oxide (NO) on pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Values decreased in all patients. Open circles = changes for the group (mean ± standard error). p = 0.03 compared with baseline values. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (96) )

4 Fig. 3 Bedside tracings of pulmonary artery (PA) pressure in mm Hg, showing systolic (Sys), mean, and diastolic (Dia), for each patient (Pt) receiving prolonged nitric oxide therapy plotted against time. Cursor = time of nitric oxide withdrawal; pulmonary artery pressures at time of withdrawal are displayed to the right of each tracing. In each patient a transient increase is seen, which dissipates without reinstitution of nitric oxide. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (96) )
