Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) is a type of complication related to the migration of deep venous thrombi clot to the lungs. Massive PE is associated with a high level of morbidity and mortality due to elevated pulmonary vascular resistance that can cause right ventricular failure, cardiogenic shock, and hypoxemia. This report aims to explain to the readers the efficacy of applying inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) to patients with a massive PE. It also aims to evaluate iNO's pulmonary vasodilator efficacy for acute PE.
大面积肺栓塞（PE）是一种与深静脉血栓凝块迁移至肺部相关的并发症。由于肺血管阻力升高可导致右心室衰竭、心源性休克和低氧血症，大面积PE具有较高的发病率和死亡率。本报告旨在向读者解释吸入一氧化氮（iNO）应用于大面积PE患者的疗效。它还旨在评估iNO对急性PE的肺血管扩张疗效。
