A method and system for generating and delivering nitric oxide directly to a patient. A reaction chamber is provided that is located at or in close proximity to the patient and reactants within the reaction chamber react together to produce a predetermined amount of nitric oxide. The reaction is controlled by metering at least one of the reactants into the reaction chamber to generate a predetermined quantity of nitric oxide as required by the patient. The reactants can include a nitrite salt, such as sodium nitrite, and a reductant such as ascorbic acid, maleic acid or a mixture thereof. By generating and delivering the nitric oxide directly to the patient in close proximity thereto, the formation of NO2 is minimized. One or both of the reactants may be in liquid form.
A method for generating and delivering nitric oxide (NO) to a mammal, comprising:
A device for introducing NO to a mammal, said device comprising:
A system for generating and introducing nitric oxide to a patient through a patient device, the system comprising a nitric oxide generating device comprising a reaction chamber for reactants that react to produce nitric oxide and control means to control the amount of nitric oxide produced to a predetermined amount, said nitric oxide generating device being located at or proximate to the patient device to provide the nitric oxide generated in the reaction chamber directly to the patient device.
