In this study, patients with severe cardiopulmonary compromise transported on inhaled epoprostenol had no significant change in their median oxygen saturations, with the overall population increasing from 91% to 93%. When inhaled epoprostenol was initiated by the transport team, the improvement was clinically and statistically significant with an increase in SpO2 from 86% to 93%, with a final oxygen saturation comparable to those who were on the medication at the time of the team's arrival.
