A modeling-based evaluation of isothermal rebreathing for breath gas analyses of highly soluble volatile organic compounds

A modeling-based evaluation of isothermal rebreathing for breath gas analyses of highly soluble volatile organic compounds.

Isothermal rebreathing has been proposed as an experimental technique for estimating the alveolar levels of hydrophilic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath. Using the prototypic test compounds acetone and methanol, we demonstrate that the end-tidal breath profiles of such substances during isothermal rebreathing show a characteristic increase that contradicts the conventional pu...

A mathematical model for breath gas analysis of volatile organic compounds with special emphasis on acetone.

Recommended standardized procedures for determining exhaled lower respiratory nitric oxide and nasal nitric oxide (NO) have been developed by task forces of the European Respiratory Society and the American Thoracic Society. These recommendations have paved the way for the measurement of nitric oxide to become a diagnostic tool for specific clinical applications. It would be desirable to develo...

Evaluation of Bio-VOC Sampler for Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds in Exhaled Breath

Monitoring volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from exhaled breath has been used to determine exposures of humans to chemicals. Prior to analysis of VOCs, breath samples are often collected with canisters or bags and concentrated. The Bio-VOC breath sampler, a commercial sampling device, has been recently introduced to the market with growing use. The main advantage for this sampler is to collect...
