Primary Outcome Measures:

arterial blood gases [ Time Frame: baseline through 24 hours and extubation ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

methemoglobin [ Time Frame: baseline, hour 4 and 24 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
broncho-alveolar lavage fluid [ Time Frame: baseline, 48 hours and day 5 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Prone position [ Time Frame: baseline then daily ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment:	55
Study Start Date:	January 2002
Study Completion Date:	December 2004
Primary Completion Date:	December 2004 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
2: Placebo Comparator Nitrogen gas	Drug: Nitrogen gas Nitrogen gas will be given at 5ppm until Day 28 or extubation
1: Experimental Inhaled Nitric Oxide	Drug: inhaled nitric oxide inhaled nitric oxide will be given at 5 ppm until day 28 or extubation

Detailed Description:

Patients will receive 5-ppm study gas (nitric oxide for inhalation or placebo) until Day 28 or extubation, whichever comes first. The following will be performed / recorded at specified times during the study: arterial blood gases, ventilator settings, methemoglobin, PRISM III score, and patient positioning. Selected centers will also be performing plasma cytokine assays, broncho-alveolar lavage fluid assays and a 6 month follow-up assessment.
