Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Effects of Nitric Oxide for Inhalation During Left Ventricular Assists Device (LVAD) Implantation (NCT NCT00060840)

NCT ID: NCT00060840

Last Updated: 2016-08-22

Results Overview

Failure criteria used to measure outcome includes: * Left ventricular flow rate index (LVFRI) ≤ 2.0 L/min/m\^2 * Administration of ≥ 20 inotropic equivalents (IE) * Mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≤ 55 mm Hg * Central venous pressure (CVP) ≥ 16 mm Hg * Percentage of mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) of ≤ 55% OR failure to wean from cardio pulmonary bypass (CPB) at least once due to hemodynamic failure or death.
