Journal ArticleDOI
Inhaled Nitric Oxide and Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn
Jesse D. Roberts,Jeffrey R. Fineman,Frederick C. Morin,Philip W. Shaul,Stephen Rimar,Michael D. Schreiber,Richard A. Polin,Maurice S. Zwass,Michael M. Zayek,Ian Gross,Michael A. Heymann,Warren M. Zapol,Kajori G. Thusu,Thomas M. Zellers,Mark E. Wylam,Alan M. Zaslavsky +15 more
TL;DR: Inhaled nitric oxide improves systemic oxygenation in infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension and may reduce the need for more invasive treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical characteristics of desflurane in surgical patients: minimum alveolar concentration.
Ira J. Rampil,Stephen H. Lockhart,Maurice S. Zwass,Natalie Peterson,Nobuhiko Yasuda,Edmond I. Eger,Richard B. Weiskopf,Michael C. Damask +7 more
TL;DR: The minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of desflurane was determined in 44 unpremedicated ASA physical status 1 or 2 patients undergoing elective surgery and appears to be a mild airway irritant but was well tolerated by all patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction and maintenance characteristics of anesthesia with desflurane and nitrous oxide in infants and children.
Maurice S. Zwass,Dennis M. Fisher,Leila G. Welborn,Charles J. Coté,Peter J. Davis,Miles Dinner,Raafat S. Hannallah,Letty M. P. Liu,J. B. Sarner,Willis A. McGill,James K. Alifimoff,Pat B. Embree,D. Ryan Cook +12 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the high incidence of airway complications during induction of anesthesia with desflurane limits its utility for inhalation induction in pediatric patients and anesthesia can be safely maintained with desFlurane if induced with a different anesthetic.
Journal Article
Inhaled nitric oxide in congenital hypoplasia of the lungs due to diaphragmatic hernia or oligohydramnios
Hratch L. Karamanoukian,Philip L. Glick,Michel Zayek,Robin H. Steinhorn,Maurice S. Zwass,Jeffrey R. Fineman,Frederick C. Morin +6 more
TL;DR: In patients with hypoplastic lungs, inhaled NO was effective only after ECMO, which could be due to maturational changes such as activating the endogenous surfactant system.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of inhaled nitric oxide on postoperative pulmonary hypertension in infants and children undergoing surgical repair of congenital heart disease.
Isobel A. Russell,Maurice S. Zwass,Jeffrey R. Fineman,Michel Balea,Kathryn Rouine-Rapp,Michael M. Brook,Frank L. Hanley,Norman H. Silverman,Michael K. Cahalan +8 more
TL;DR: In infants and children undergoing congenital heart surgery, inhaled nitric oxide selectively reduces MPAP in patients who emerge from cardiopulmonary bypass with pulmonary hypertension and has no effect on those who emerge without it.
