Abstract:
Breath sensors technology can be used as a tool for medical diagnostics. Compounds of exhaled breath are important markers of lung health. Exhaled nitric oxide is a FDA approved marker for monitoring of obstructive lung disease. Studies have shown a correlation of breath carbon monoxide, hydrogen per oxide and hydrogen sulfide for detection of obstructive lung disease. Besides these compounds, ammonia, acetone and alcohol are possible marker of obstructive lung disease. This study is aimed to find the level of hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, acetone and alcohol in exhaled breath of patients and healthy to find the efficacy of compounds of exhaled breath for detection of obstructive lung disease
