Rationale. The nitrogen oxide molecule (NO) is a fundamental factor of the anti-infectious resistance of an organism. Research objective. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the prevention of sepsis by the inhalation of nitrogen oxide (iNO) in newborns with respiratory pathology on artificial pulmonary ventilation. Methods. Controlled, randomized, blind clinical trial included 97 newborns with respiratory pathology for artificial pulmonary ventilation. Patients received standard intensive therapy. The main group (n=44) received inhaled nitrogen oxide. The control group (n=53) did not receive inhaled nitrogen oxide. On Days 1, 3, and 20, the plasma concentrations of IL-1ß, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, G-CSF, s-Fas, FGF, and nitrogen oxide were measured by capture ELISA. Results. Inhaled nitrogen oxide as a part of intensive care decreased the rate of sepsis development, the duration of mechanical ventilation, and the period of hospitalization. It provided a tendency towards a decrease in the rate of lethal outcomes and reduced cytokine aggression. Conclusions. Inhaled nitrogen oxide in standard intensive care effectively and safely prevented the development of sepsis in newborns with respiratory pathology on artificial lung ventilation. A decrease in the concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, against the background of nitrogen oxide inhalation, confirmed the possibility of using inhaled nitrogen oxide as a therapy for COVID-19.
