Abstract

Inhalation of nitric oxide (NO) for a prolonged period (in this text defined as > 1 h) implies use of NO as a therapeutic agent. While this form of treatment is not yet approved anywhere in the world, registration of NO as a therapeutic agent will have to await results from large scale clinical trials. Naturally such proof cannot be taken for granted, as randomized trials may fail to demonstrate a convincing efficacy/safety ratio on the chosen trial endpoints.
