Inhaled Nitric Oxide in Severe Obesity

Официальное название

The Effect of Inhaled Nitric Oxide on Intrapulmonary Shunt in Acutely Hypoxemic Patients With Severe Obesity

Обзор

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of inhaled nitric oxide on oxygenation and lung perfusion in participants with severe obesity who have acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and are on mechanical ventilation The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. In acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, what are the effects of inhaled nitric oxide on oxygenation in participants with severe obesity compared to participants with normal body weight. 2. In acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, what are the effects of inhaled nitric oxide on lung perfusion and heart function in participants with severe obesity compared to participants with normal body weight. 3. In acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, does severe obesity impact nitric oxide signaling pathways? Participants with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure will be exposed to inhaled nitric oxide (20 ppm) while being clinically monitored.

Подробное описание

The study is a single-center, open-label clinical trial in mechanically ventilated participants with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. The primary aim is to assess changes in intrapulmonary shunt (primary study outcome) to inhaled nitric oxide in participants with severe obesity and those with normal body weight. The secondary aims are to determine differences in regional lung perfusion (measured by electrical impedance tomography), right ventricular pressure (measured by transthoracic echocardiography), and biomarkers of nitric oxide signaling dysfunction (nitric oxide activity, pro-inflammatory cytokines, endothelial glycocalyx fragments)

The primary study intervention involves inhaled nitric oxide at 20 ppm for 15 minutes. The investigators will compare inhaled nitric oxide response in participants with severe obesity (defined by body mass index greater than or equal to 40) to participants with normal body weight (defined by body mass index 18.5-24.9). 40 participants with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure will be enrolled (20 with severe obesity and 20 with normal body weight). The investigators will enroll a separate cohort of mechanically ventilated participants who do not have acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (10 with severe obesity and 10 with normal body weight). In this cohort, investigators will collect additional blood at a single time point to compare levels of nitric oxide signaling pathways between patients with and without acute hypoxemia across body weight.
