Nitric oxide during liver transplant surgery
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving nitric oxide (a gas that helps blood vessels relax) during liver transplant surgery improves outcomes for adults. It is for people having their first liver transplant and aims to see if the treatment helps recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether giving nitric oxide gas during heart surgery can help patients recover faster and need less breathing and circulation support afterward. It is for people having planned heart or aortic surgery with a heart-lung machine for the first time.
This study tests whether breathing in a gas called nitric oxide during and after heart surgery can help prevent kidney damage. The treatment is given through a mask or tube to support kidney function.
This trial studies whether giving nitric oxide during heart-lung bypass surgery can help protect a baby’s brain and kidneys. If you qualify, the study team will check outcomes after surgery to see if benefits happen compared with usual care.
This study tests whether giving inhaled nitric oxide gas helps improve lung function in patients on a breathing tube with mild to moderate acute lung injury (ARDS). Participants will receive standard care plus the study gas, and the team will use special imaging to see how the lungs respond.
This Phase 1 study tests whether inhaled nitric oxide (a gas breathed through a ventilator) can improve outcomes in people having a specific kind of emergency stroke procedure to remove a clot from the brain. It focuses on patients who need general anesthesia for the clot-removal procedure and have imaging results that suggest salvageable brain tissue.
This Phase 3 study tests whether not giving nitric oxide during heart-lung bypass in newborns helps reduce the risk of acute kidney injury. It focuses on newborns having heart surgery for congenital heart disease.
