Nitric oxide was added to the ventilator circuit at 7 ppm and then 15 ppm after the patient failed to respond to bronchodilators and steroids. This was followed by rapid improvement in respiratory mechanics and blood gases with no adverse effects. Nitric oxide appears to have a direct relaxing effect on the bronchial smooth muscle.
