Study Summary

Cardiac surgery is a procedure that is commonly performed worldwide. Despite these technological advances, cardiac surgery remains a high-risk surgery. Among post-operative complications, acute kidney injury, respiratory failure, myocardial infarction, and stroke as well as cognitive dysfunction are significant causes of mortality in patients undergoing and following cardiac surgery. Inhaled nitric oxide (NO) therapy as a selective pulmonary vasodilator in cardiac surgery has been one of the most significant pharmacological advances in managing pulmonary hemodynamics and life threatening right ventricular dysfunction and failure. In addition, newer applications show greater promise of inhaled NO as a therapy in the area of cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury and ischemia reperfusion. However, this remarkable expectation to inhaled NO has experienced a roller-coaster ride with high hopes and nearly universal demonstration of physiological benefits but disappointing translation of these benefits to harder clinical outcomes, like mortality. Most of our understanding on the iNO field in cardiac surgery stems from small observational or single center randomized trials, which failed to ascertain strong evidence base. As a consequence, there are only week clinical practice guidelines on the field and only European expert opinion for the use of iNO in routine and more specialized cardiac surgery. There is need for a large multicenter randomized controlled study to confirm the administration of iNO as an effective weapon for the battle against life threatening complication in high risk cardiac surgical patients. In a previous meta analysis with 27 studies included, we demonstrated that inhaled nitric oxide (NO) could reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation and reducing biomarkers of organ injury and clinical signs of organ dysfunction in cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) , but had no significance in the ICU stay, hospital stay, and mortalit
