Clinical Trial: Effects of Inhaled Nitric Oxide on Sublingual Microcirculation in Patients With Right Ventricular Dysfunction After Cardiac Surgery

U.S., Nov. 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07918976) titled 'Effects of Inhaled Nitric Oxide on Sublingual Microcirculation in Patients With Right Ventricular Dysfunction After Cardiac Surgery' on Oct. 22.

Brief Summary: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction complicates 0.1-3% of cardiac surgical procedures and is strongly associated with elevated postoperative mortality. Pulmonary hypertension is a key determinant of perioperative RV failure. Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is a selective pulmonary vasodilator that reduces pulmonary arterial pressure and has been widely used as adjunctive therapy in this setting. However, whether iNO influences systemic microcirculatory perfusion in these patients re...
