Exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations were measured on a CO monitor by vital capacity maneuvers in asthmatic patients receiving or not receiving inhaled corticosteroids and in nonsmoking and smoking healthy control subjects. CO was detectable and measured reproducibly in the exhaled air of all subjects. The exhaled CO concentrations were higher in asthmatic patients not receiving inhaled ...
INTRODUCTION Exogenous hypoxia increases ventilation and contracts the pulmonary vessels. Whether those factors change the values of nitric oxide in exhaled air has not yet been evaluated. OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of exogenous normobaric hypoxia on the values of the fraction of nitric oxide in exhaled breath (FeNO). Subjects аnd Methods: Twenty healthy non-smoker males at mean age of 2...
BACKGROUND Exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOC) are being considered as biomarkers for various lungs diseases, including cancer. However, the accurate measurement of extremely low concentrations of VOC in expired air is technically challenging. We evaluated the clinical contribution of exhaled VOC measured with a new, double cold-trap method in the diagnosis of lung cancer. METHODS Breath...
Nitric oxide (NO) is believed to be involved in the pathophysiology of sepsis. This study evaluated the activity of the NO pathway in a human endotoxin model. At baseline and after endotoxin, on-line measurements of exhaled NO (eNO) were made using a chemiluminescence technique with a single-breath method. NO-free air was inhaled prior to exhalation against a resistance. NO in orally and nasall...
RESPIRATORY GAS EXCHANGE PHYSIOLOGY began with the description of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in a one-compartment lung, followed decades later by investigation of the effects of heterogeneity. Those studies were followed by experiments utilizing multiple intravenously infused inert gases of varying blood solubility to further investigate ventilation-perfusion heterogeneity. More recentl...
BACKGROUND Nitric oxide (NO) may be an important component of the host defence against infections. Endogenously produced NO is present in exhaled air and may be representative of respiratory tract production of NO. Since subjects infected with HIV are prone to develop respiratory infections, it was postulated that exhaled NO might be reduced in such individuals. METHODS The exhaled concentrat...
Carbon monoxide is known to be present in measurable quantities in the exhaled air of normal subjects and at higher concentrations in asthmatic patients not treated with glucocorticoids. To examine whether exhaled CO is useful in monitoring asthma control, time course changes in peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) and exhaled CO concentration before and after treatment of acute asthma exacerbation...
OBJECTIVE Air pollution can promote airway inflammation, posing significant health risks for children with chronic respiratory problems. However, it is unknown whether this process is reversible, so that limiting pollution will benefit these children. We measured the short-term response of allergic asthmatic children exposed to a real-life reduction in outdoor air pollution by using noninvasive...
BACKGROUND Nitric oxide is released from pulmonary endothelial cells and contributes to the low pulmonary vascular resistance. The resistance pulmonary arteries are in close anatomical proximity to membranous airways, so it is likely that some pulmonary endothelial nitric oxide will enter the airspace to allow its measurement in the exhaled breath. METHODS Exhaled air was collected from a sin...
