Breath condenser coatings affect measurement of biomarkers in exhaled breath condensate.
Exhaled breath condensate collection is not yet standardised and biomarker measurements are often close to lower detection limits. In the current study, it was hypothesised that adhesive properties of different condenser coatings interfere with measurements of eicosanoids and proteins in breath condensate. In vitro, condensate was derived from a collection model using two test solutions (8-isop...
متن کاملExhaled breath condensate biomarkers in COPD.
Biomarkers in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may be useful in aiding diagnosis, defining specific phenotypes of disease, monitoring exacerbations and evaluating the effects of drugs. Exhaled breath condensate is a noninvasive means of sampling the airways, allowing biomarkers of airway inflammation and oxidative stress to be measured. In the present review, the use of exhaled breath cond...
متن کاملExhaled breath condensate pH
In a previous issue of the European Respiratory Journal STEVENS et al. [1] suggested that preschool children with wheeze account for a significant proportion of the UK healthcare budget. Most preschool wheezing is caused by viral infection and, therefore, we wondered how much preschool children with upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) without wheeze would cost the National Health Service? ...

متن کاملExhaled Breath Condensate
Objective: To examine exhaled breath condensate levels of 8-iso-PGF2ot as a noninvasive quantification of pulmonary oxidant stress in patients with, or at risk for, ARDS/ALI. Methods: Breath condensate was collected from 22 patients with, or at risk for, ARDS/ALI by placing Tygon tubing submerged in an ice bath in line with the expiratory limb of the ventilator circuit. Ten patients without lun...
