Comparison of two devices and two breathing patterns for exhaled breath condensate sampling. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Analysis of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is a noninvasive method to access the epithelial lining fluid of the lungs. Due to standardization problems the method has not entered clinical practice. The aim of the study was to assess the comparability for

ULTRA‐Metrics

open access: yesJournal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives Ultrasound competency is critical in modern healthcare, yet no standardized framework currently supports ultrasound skill monitoring across diverse clinical settings and user types. Existing frameworks often lack generalizability, overemphasize exam counts, and fail to assess key skills such as interpretation, limiting ultrasound's safe and ...

Relationship of arterial and exhaled CO2 during elevated artificial pneumoperitoneum pressure for introduction of the first trocar. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The present study evaluated the correlation between arterial CO2 and exhaled CO2 during brief high-pressure pneumoperitoneum. Patients were randomly distributed into two groups: P12 group (n=30) received a maximum intraperitoneal pressure of 12mmHg ...

Practical Applications of Secondary/Extractive Electrospray Ionization (SESI): A Versatile Tool for Real‐Time Chemical Analysis

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the 1980s, researchers discovered the remarkable ability of electrospray plumes to effectively ionize gas‐phase molecules via secondary ionization. Around 20 years later—coinciding with the ambient mass spectrometry revolution—secondary electrospray ionization (SESI) and extractive electrospray ionization (EESI) coupled to mass spectrometry

Predictors of outcome of noninvasive ventilation in severe COPD exacerbation

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2019
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) reduces the rate of endotracheal intubation (ETI) and overall mortality in severe acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) with acute respiratory failure and is increasingly applied in respiratory intermediate care units. However,

Validation of a new spectrometer for noninvasive measurement of cardiac output [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Acetylene is a blood-soluble gas and for many years its uptake rate during rebreathing tests has been used to calculate the flow rate of blood through the lungs (normally equal to cardiac output) as well as the volume of lung tissue.
