The reactions of human hemoglobin and sperm whale myoglobin with ethyl nitrite under aerobic conditions have been examined in kinetic detail. Ethyl nitrite converts two equivalents of oxyhemoglobin or oxymyoglobin to their oxidized counterparts with concurrent production of one equivalent

Journal of reconstructive microsurgery, 23(5), 257-262 (2007-09-19)
Vasospasm leading to thrombosis is a major cause of free flap failure. Flap blood flow may improve by application of vasodilating agents to the pedicle. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a novel S-nitrosylating agent

To determine if reduction in nitric oxide bioactivity contributes to the physiological instability that occurs after brain death and, if so, to also determine in this setting whether administration of a renitrosylating agent could improve systemic physiological status. Organ function
Inhaled ethyl nitrite gas for persistent pulmonary hypertension in infants.

A method to maintain organ blood flow during laparoscopic surgery has not been developed. Here we determined if ethyl nitrite, an S-nitrosylating agent that would maintain nitric oxide bioactivity (the major regulator of tissue perfusion), might be an effective intervention
