This immediately improved oxygenation (Pao2=Fio2 78 mm Hg) and the thermodilution curve (Fig. 1B) despite persistent and unchanged norepinephrine dose of 1 mg kg min 1 and same ventilatory settings. NO was titrated to 20 ppm. Twelve hours later norepinephrine was reduced to 0.3 mg kg min 1 and NO was redu...
