Nitric oxide therapy

Nitric oxide therapy involves delivering a special gas called nitric oxide to the lungs, primarily to help relax and widen blood vessels in the lungs. This improves blood flow and oxygen exchange, making it easier for the heart and lungs to work together. It is often used for newborns with lung problems and adults with certain pulmonary conditions, such as pulmonary hypertension. The treatment is carefully controlled and monitored, as nitric oxide can have powerful effects on the circulatory system. Overall, it’s a targeted therapy that improves oxygen delivery and reduces strain on the heart.
