Nebulization of the acidified sodium nitrite formulation attenuates acute hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Generalized hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) occurring during exposure to hypoxia is a detrimental process resulting in an increase in lung vascular resistance. Nebulization of sodium nitrite has been shown to inhibit HPV. Th...
