Using ICU vents for delivery of NO for acute asthma.
Has anyone heard or seen of the use of ICU vents not anasthesia vents, for the delivery of NO to acute asthma patients? email cspa94@yahoo.ca if you have any information.

I am not sure of any effect of NO on asthma, unless the asthma induced a hypertension state due to low PaO2's. Heliox seems much more indicated for asthma than NO.
