Scand J Trauma Resusc Emerg Med. 2019 Feb 22;27(1):22. doi: 10.1186/s13049-019-0602-x. 10.1186/s13049-019-0602-xAbstract
We describe a case where inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) was successfully initiated during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in a younger patient with cardiac arrest related to pulmonary hypertension after disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) postpartum bleeding and hysterectomy. This case illustrates that iNO might be a potential lifesaving tool for resuscitation of patients with cardiac arrest related to pulmonary hypertension, for whom most other resuscitation strategies often are futile.
