Inhalation therapy with high doses of nitric oxide in a comorbid patient with COVID-19: A clinical case
https://doi.org/10.29001/2073-8552-2022-37-4-180-187
Abstract
The article describes a clinical case of inhalation therapy with high doses of nitric oxide (NO) in a comorbid patient with a severe course of COVID-19. An air stream containing NO was generated using the PLAZON device. High-dose NO inhalation therapy was administered as a life-saving option due to the lack of effect from treatment delivered in accordance with the current national clinical guidelines for the treatment of COVID-19. The safety and clinical efficacy of the technique was demonstrated.
