Modeling Pulmonary Gas Exchange and Single-Exhalation Profiles of Carbon Monoxide

Modeling Pulmonary Gas Exchange and Single-Exhalation Profiles of Carbon Monoxide

Exhaled breath carbon monoxide (eCO) is a candidate biomarker for non-invasive assessment of oxidative stress and respiratory diseases. Standard end-tidal CO analysis, however, cannot distinguish, whether eCO reflects endogenous CO production, lung diffusion properties or exogenous sources, and is u...
