What is Inomax

Nitric Oxide

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Nitric oxide, also known as nitrogen monoxide, is a colorless, odorless gas with the chemical formula NO. It is a signaling molecule in mammals and is widely used in the chemical industry. It is also produced as a byproduct by car engines and power plants and is a toxic air pollutant. Nitric oxide should not be confused with nitrous oxide (N2O), which is an anesthetic, or nitrogen dioxide (NO2), which is also a poisonous air pollutant. Nitric oxide is a free radical, making it highly reactive and reactive with ozone in the air to form nitrogen dioxide, which can be

How Inomax Affects Patients

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) can be caused by a number of different conditions, such as meconium aspiration syndrome, pneumonia, and sepsis. This leads to high pulmonary vascular resistance, which decreases oxygen in the blood. Nitric oxide can help with this by widening the pulmonary vessels in healthy parts of the lung and re-distributing blood flow away from the unhealthy parts. This increases the oxygen in the blood.

How Inomax works in the body

Nitric oxide helps arteries and veins relax, allowing more blood to flow. This process happens when nitric oxide binds to a molecule found in cells, activating a chemical reaction which produces a compound that causes the vessels to relax. When inhaled, nitric oxide helps the lungs open up, allowing for easier breathing.

What is INOmax system?

"INOMAX is an inhaler that helps improve blood flow to the lungs and prevents hypoxic respiratory failure in term and near-term neonates."

Answered by AI

What is INOmax used for?

"INOmax is combined with artificial ventilation and other medicines to help improve blood oxygen levels in the following groups of patients: newborn babies (born after 34 weeks of gestation) with breathing problems associated with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs)."

Answered by AI

What is inhaled nitric oxide used for?

"Nitric oxide is used to treat term and near-term babies with respiratory failure that is caused by pulmonary hypertension. Nitric oxide is a gas that is inhaled through the nose or mouth."

Answered by AI

What is INOmax Dsir?

"The Inomax DSIR. Plus MRI delivery system is indicated for use with Inomax (nitric oxide for inhalation) to provide a constant concentration of nitric oxide (NO) to the patient throughout the inspired breath."

Telaglenastat for Pulmonary Hypertension

18 - 75
All Sexes
Pittsburgh, PA

The research study is being conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a drug called Telaglenastat in adults diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension (PH). PH is a progressive condition that affects the arteries in the lungs, specifically the pulmonary arteries, which carry blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs. Telaglenastat is not currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of PH. However, the study investigators believe that Telaglenastat may help lower blood pressure in the lungs and improve both heart and lung function. It is important to note that the drug will not be available to participants once the study concludes.

Neuromodulation for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

18 - 90
All Sexes
Oklahoma City, OK

Patients with Group 1 pulmonary hypertension will be enrolled in this study. Investigators will test the hypothesis of low-level tragal stimulation in patients with pulmonary hypertension. The study will be conducted over 4 weeks and patients will undergo low-level tragus stimulation for 1 hour every day for 4 weeks. At baseline the following tests will be conducted-6-minute walk distance, vascular function testing using noninvasive device and blood samples will be collected. Patient will also undergo a limited echocardiography to assess right ventricular function. After 4 weeks of stimulation patients will come back to undergo these tests again. Investigators hypothesized that low-level tragus stimulation (neuromodulation) will lead to improvement in vascular function, 6-minute walk distance and blood based biomarkers in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
