Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Participants With Normal Right Ventricular (RV) Function and Viability

    Right ventricular (RV) function and viability assessed by the composite of normal RV size (\<42 mm in diastole) and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) \> 16 mm and normal right ventricular index of myocardial performance (RIMP) \< 0.40 using spectral Doppler or \< 0.55 using tissue Doppler) and normal fractional area change (FAC) (\> 33%) and a serum hsTnT \< 14pg/mL. Missing values will be considered normal.

    5 days or hospital discharge (whichever occurs first)

  • RV strain on ECG
  • Plan to admit to a bed with telemetry capability

You may not qualify if:

  • Vasopressor support at time of enrollment
  • Pregnancy
  • Plan by clinical care team to use lytic or surgical embolectomy
  • Plan by clinical team to use platelet inhibiting drugs
  • Contraindication to anticoagulation
  • Altered mental status such that the patient is unable to provide informed consent
  • Inability to use a nasal cannula or face mask
  • Comfort care measures instituted
  • Supplemental oxygen requirements greater than can be administered via nasal cannula in order to maintain Sa)2 \> 80%
  • Pneumothorax with decompression
  • Serum MetHb \> 10%
  • Recent use of drugs known to increase cGMP
  • Use of nitroprusside or nitroglycerin within the last 4 hours
  • Use of any other nitrates with in the past 24 hours
  • Use of a fibrinolytic medicine within the past 14 days
