for the DELiverly oF iNO (DELFiNO) Network Collaborators* OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the use of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) 200 improves respiratory function.
METHODS: This retrospective cohort study used data from pregnant patients hospitalized with severe bilateral coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia at four teaching hospitals between March 2020 and December 2021. Two cohorts were identified: 1) those receiving standard of care alone (SoC cohort) and 2) those receiving iNO 200 for 30 minutes twice daily in addition to standard of care alone (iNO 200 cohort).
