Under more physiologically relevant levels of hypoxia, the central role of eNOS in protecting against hypertension is supported by our observation that loss of eNOS leads to increased acute hypoxic vasoconstriction and development of pulmonary hypertension [ 9, 10, 11, 12].
In the present study, patients with circulatory shock receiving vasodilating inotrops were excluded in order to eliminate the interferences between these agents, inhaled NO and hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.
As a matter of fact, although the percentage of lung consolidation tended to be greater in patients without septic shock (63 vs 57%), their mean PaO 2 tended to be higher (95 ± 16 vs 88 ± 11 mmHg), suggesting some degree of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction impairment in the non-ventilated lung areas of patients with septic shock.
It is also important to note that large bolus doses of loop diuretics may cause transient renal vasoconstriction.
At high concentrations, it may be that NO reaches pulmonary vessels perfusing non-ventilated lung areas and worsens arterial oxygenation by inhibiting hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction as observed in patients 1, 2, 6, 8 and 15.
