Alcohol breath test: gas exchange issues.
The alcohol breath test is reviewed with a focus on gas exchange factors affecting its accuracy. The basis of the alcohol breath test is the assumption that alveolar air reaches the mouth during exhalation with no change in alcohol concentration. Recent investigations have shown that alcohol concentration is altered during its transit to the mouth. The exhaled alcohol concentration is modified ...
متن کاملBreath-by-breath assessment of alveolar gas stores and exchange.
The volume of O(2) exchanged at the mouth during a breath (Vo(2,m)) is equal to that taken up by pulmonary capillaries (Vo(2,A)) only if lung O(2) stores are constant. The latter change if either end-expiratory lung volume (EELV), or alveolar O(2) fraction (Fa(O(2))) change. Measuring this requires breath-by-breath (BbB) measurement of absolute EELV, for which we used optoelectronic plethysmogr...
متن کاملMeasurement of breath-by-breath gas exchange during general anaesthesia.
We describe a single flow transducer breath-by-breath gas exchange measurement system suitable for use during general anaesthesia. The system uses a Fleisch No. 2 pneumotachograph, a mass spectrometer and a microcomputer to give real-time continuous measurements. Correction for apparent gas exchange attributable to changes in gas stored in the lung (functional residual capacity) is available. T...
متن کاملBreath tests and airway gas exchange.
Measuring soluble gas in the exhaled breath is a non-invasive technique used to estimate levels of respiratory, solvent, and metabolic gases. The interpretation of these measurements is based on the assumption that the measured gases exchange in the alveoli. While the respiratory gases have a low blood-solubility and exchange in the alveoli, high blood-soluble gases exchange in the airways. The...
متن کاملThe alcohol breath test--a review.
The alcohol breath test (ABT) is evaluated for variability in response to changes in physiological parameters. The ABT was originally developed in the 1950s, at a time when understanding of pulmonary physiology was quite limited. Over the past decade, physiological studies have shown that alcohol is exchanged entirely within the conducting airways via diffusion from the bronchial circulation. T...
