Finally, the maximum pulmonary vascular effect and the dose-response of inhaled NO on pulmonary artery pressure depends on many diverse factors that may be associated in a given patient: type and concentration of circulating pulmonary vasoconstrictors and vasodilators (endogenous and exogenous); relative importance of 'fixed' and 'nonfixed' components of pulmonary artery hypertension; and loss of lung volume.
Recently, it has been suggested that the presence of septic shock may decrease responsiveness to inhaled NO [ 14]: among 25 patients with ARDS and septic shock, only 40% responded to inhaled NO with an improvement in PaO 2 /FiO 2≥ 20%.
In patients without septic shock, inhaled NO increased PaO 2 /FiO 2 by 81%, the maximum effect being obtained at an inspiratory NO concentration of 4.5 ppm.
Multiple studies have developed and applied a concept known as an intake fraction, generally defined as the fraction of a pollutant or its precursor emitted that is eventually inhaled by someone [ 21 22 ] . Mathematically, an intake fraction can be calculated using the following equation:
These exclusion criteria were intended to eliminate patients with cardiac failure, intracardiac shunt or cardiovascular instability, in whom an accurate evaluation of dose-response to inhaled NO would have been either difficult or heavily biased [ 15].
