Inhaled Nitric Oxide

Inhaled nitric oxide is a specialized gas used in medical settings to help improve blood flow in the lungs. When inhaled, it relaxes the blood vessels in the lungs, allowing better oxygen transfer into the blood. This can be particularly helpful for newborns with lung problems or adults with certain types of lung or heart issues. Since it acts mainly in the lungs, it helps improve oxygen levels without affecting other parts of the body significantly. Inhaled nitric oxide is carefully administered under medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
