Abstract
Human burn injury is associated with an inflammatory response and related hyperdynamic cardiovascular profile. Increased production of nitric oxide (NO), a potent endogenous vasodilator, has been reported in patients with inflammatory states, including sepsis, but not after trauma other than burns. We studied whether plasma levels of the stable byproducts of NO, nitrite (NO2-) and nitrate (NO3-), are increased in burn patients.Journal ArticleSCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publisheKeywords
