Method of mixing gases including nitric oxide

摘要

A method of delivering nitric oxide can include mixing a first gas including oxygen and a second gas including a nitric oxide-releasing agent within a receptacle to form a gas mixture, where the receptacle includes an inlet, an outlet and a reducing agent, contacting the nitric oxide-releasing agent in the gas mixture with the reducing agent to generate nitric oxide, and delivering the gas mixture including nitric oxide from the receptacle to a mammal.
