The use of inhaled nitric oxide in the critically ill has increased
significantly over the past few years but little published information
exists on standards for current practice. Sixty-four intensive therapy
units in the UK were surveyed by questionnaire from which 54 (84.4%)
satisfactory replies were received. We present the survey results and put
forward recommendations based on current literature and our own clinical
experience for the safe use of inhaled nitric oxide.
