High-dose Inhaled Nitric Oxide Safe, Effective for Non-Intubated COVID-19 Patients
Lorenzo Berra, MD, and Bijan Safaee Fakhr, MD, of the Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine, and colleagues found that high-dose inhaled nitric oxide produced a beneficial effect on the respiratory system of non-intubated hospitalized COVID-19 patients without adverse events.

Persistent Dyspnea After COVID-19 May Have Another Cause
Corey Hardin, MD, PhD, and George A. Alba, MD, and colleagues found most patients with persistent dyspnea and exercise intolerance after COVID-19 have mild or no abnormalities on cardiopulmonary exercise testing, while severe abnormalities on cardiopulmonary exercise testing may be seen in patients with severe or critical COVID-19.

Case Series: ECMO for Myositis-Associated Rapidly Progressive Interstitial Lung Disease
Based on the largest case series to date, Massachusetts General Hospital physicians recommend continued consideration of extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge to recovery or transplant in patients with confirmed or suspected myositis-associated rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease.

Biological Insights into ARDS May Improve Treatment of COVID-19
By integrating genomic and transcriptomic data, David C. Christiani, MD, MPH, of the Pulmonary and Critical Care Unit, and colleagues gleaned information about the pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and potential genetic targets for therapies, including therapies for COVID-19–related ARDS.

COVID-19 ARDS Has Distinct Phenotypes Different from Those in "Classic" ARDS
Massachusetts General Hospital physicians have identified two phenotypes of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) associated with COVID-19 that are distinct in biochemical profiles and short-term mortality despite minimal differences in respiratory dynamics.
