RE: nitric oxide

["Brault, Charles" <cbrault@bechtel.com>]

Really,

I don`t think anybody see`s any use for Nitric Oxide by medics

 

On the other hand it's not quit necessary to call people "chief" quite yet

And I would not hype too much the dangers of NO, use or leaks on the caregivers

(That's been done too much already... and most of the initial anxieties have been dispelled)

Just like D-Fib, I guess

 

What we do need, though, is to be comfortable with it

In case we have to transport a speciality team with it

 

Here are 2 good sites :

 

Some basic Info

www.apnet.com/no/

 

And a provider of portable NO

www.pulmonox.com

Huge difference there chief, nitric -vs- nitrous!  Are you suggesting that Paramedics deliver nitric oxide?  Isn't that a little our of scope not to mention very dangerous to the patient not to mention all involved should there be a leak?...
