Summary

"This trial is studying the use of inhaled nitric oxide for patients who develop pulmonary hypertension during Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. The goal is to see if giving nitric oxide early in the

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with ARDS who are starting to show signs of high blood pressure in the lungs. It's open to those who haven't yet received treatment for this specific complication.
What is being tested?
The study tests if inhaling nitric oxide (iNO) early on can help manage increased lung blood pressure and improve overall health in ARDS patients.
What are the potential side effects?
Inhaled nitric oxide may cause headaches, dizziness, or a rise in methemoglobin levels which reduces oxygen delivery by blood.
