Abstract:
Pneumonectomy is rarely required in the surgical management of thoracic traumatic injuries with high mortality rates. Right heart failure due to elevated pulmonary artery pressure and the adult respiratory distress syndrome have been leading causes of mortality reported after posttraumatic pneumonectomy. The beneficial effect of inhaled nitric oxide has been shown in pulmonary hypertension and in adult respiratory distress syndrome. We report the use of inhaled nitric oxide in the perioperative management of a patient undergoing emergent pneumonectomy.

Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Prostacyclin Receptor Agonists
These agonists bind to the IPR receptor situated on the plasma membrane of the pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. This binding triggers a cascade of reactions known as the GS-AC-cAMP-PKA pathway. This pathway results in the relaxation of smooth muscle...
