  1. Hello Future and MPs today in our pharmacology review will
  2. be discussing and held nitric oxide.
  3. So what is in hell?
  4. Nitric oxide?
  5. Inhale nitric oxide, which we will now refer to as
  6. I know, is indicated in neonatal with hypoxic respiratory failure
  7. associated with clinical or echocardiogram thick evidence of pulmonary hypertension.
  8. Also called PPH n.
  9. I know it's a selective pulmonary basic dilator.
  10. It relaxes vascular smooth muscle by stimulating.
  11. See GMP via the gating of calcium to and potassium
  12. channels by direct stimulation of potassium channels and by modulating
  13. the activity of angiotensin two receptors.
  14. Dilation of pulmonary vessels and well ventilated long areas redistribute
  15. blood away from lung areas where beaky ratios are poor.
  16. So, in a nutshell, I know decreases PPH n b
  17. A pulmonary visit dilation which decreases wiki mismatch and increases
  18. the partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood.
