Measurement of Exhaled Nitric Oxide Using End Tidal Value during Normal Breathing
Increased nitric oxide (NO) production in the expired air has been associated with a number of disease conditions and may reflect the severity of inflammation in the lungs. Measurement of exhaled NO concentration has been proposed as a novel clinical tool for assessing airway inflammation and response to drug therapy. In spite of international guidelines aimed at standardizing the measurement o...
متن کاملExhaled Nitric Oxide Using End-Tidal Concentration during Methacholine Challenge
Increased nitric oxide in exhaled gas in patients with asthma is thought to reflect the severity of airway inflammation and perhaps airway reactivity. Several studies attempted to identify a relationship between exhaled NO levels and airway reactivity or severity of airway inflammation for the purpose of finding out if exhaled NO could be used in place of pulmonary function testing and airway p...
متن کاملSampling of exhaled nitric oxide in children: end-expiratory plateau, balloon and tidal breathing methods compared.
The aim of this study was to compare exhaled nitric oxide concentrations obtained during controlled slow exhalation, presently considered as the method of choice, with two sampling methods that are easily performed by children: blowing air into a balloon and tidal breathing through a mouthpiece. One hundred and one well controlled, stable allergic asthmatic children (median age 11.7 yrs) perfor...
متن کاملComparison of single-breath and tidal breathing exhaled nitric oxide levels in infants.
The aim of this study was to compare two different methods, tidal breathing (TB) and single-breath (SB), for measuring fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) in infants. FENO was measured in 71 infants with either recurrent wheeze (n=32), recurrent cough (n=16) or no symptoms (healthy, n=23) using both methods. For TB measurements five breaths were collected into a gas sampling bag (off-line re...
متن کاملMeasurement of exhaled nitric oxide in man.
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...
