متن کاملA physiological-social score for triaging of pandemic influenza patients.
In summary, argon deaeration decreases the concentration and the variability of exhaled breath condensate partial pressure of CO2, but there is always some remaining CO2 that may still be a confounding factor in pH assessment. CO2 content has a marked influence on exhaled breath condensate pH and, since exhaled breath condensate partial pressure of CO2 varies even after deaeration, it leaves so...
متن کاملInfluence of condensation temperature on selected exhaled breath parameters
BACKGROUND The effects of changes in cooling temperature on biomarker levels in exhaled breath condensate have been little investigated. The aim of the study was to test the effect of condensation temperature on the parameters of exhaled breath condensate and the levels of selected biomarkers. METHODS Exhaled breath condensate was collected from 24 healthy subjects at temperatures of -10, -5,...
متن کاملReproducibility of exhaled breath condensate pH in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Increasingly, exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is being used to sample airway fluid from the lower respiratory tract. EBC pH may be a biomarker of airway inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this study, the reproducibility of EBC pH in COPD was investigated. A total of 36 COPD patients and 12 healthy nonsmoking subjects participated in several investigations: duration...
