Podcast 733: Nitric Oxide for COVID

Podcast 733: Nitric Oxide for COVID

Contributor: Nick Hatch, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Inhaled nitric oxide or Flolan may be considered in COVID
    • Flolan is a prostaglandin can be inhaled or given IV
  • These medications are classically used for right-sided heart failure, but may be used in COVID
  • Causes pulmonary vasodilation to reduce the resistance against the right ventricle
  • Complications include hypotension and hemolysis, but nitric oxide can be turned off very quickly if needed
    • Be careful and wean patients on nitric oxide for pulmonary hypertension
