Exhaled breath condensate nitrite and its relation to tidal volume in acute lung injury.
STUDY OBJECTIVE Mechanical ventilation may damage the lung. Low tidal volume (VT) is protective, but VT is scaled to body weight (BW) and may be high in functionally small ARDS lungs. We hypothesized that exhaled breath condensate (EBC) nitrite (NO(2)(-)) concentration may increase with lung distension. DESIGN Prospective, noncontrolled study. SETTING University hospital and medical ICU. ...
متن کاملEffects of salbutamol on exhaled breath condensate biomarkers in acute lung injury: prospective analysis
INTRODUCTION The benefits of beta-adrenergic stimulation have been described in acute lung injury (ALI), but there is still no evidence of its anti-inflammatory effect in these patients. Biomarkers in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) were used to study the effects of salbutamol on lung inflammation in mechanically ventilated patients with ALI. METHODS EBC was collected before and 30 minutes af...
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...
