Nitric oxide (NO) has been used for decades in cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) as a vasodilator, improving gas exchange in the lungs and allowing the blood to better oxygenate.
NO is naturally produced by many cells of the body and plays an important role in signaling and homeostasis.
