The Use of Exhaled Nitric Oxide to Guide Asthma Management
Rationale: Current asthma guidelines recommend adjusting antiinflammatory treatment on the basis of the results of lung function tests and symptom assessment, neither of which are closely associated with airway inflammation. Objectives: We tested the hypothesis that titrating corticosteroid dose ...
Exhaled nitric oxide and asthma control: a longitudinal study in unselected patients
Controlled studies have shown that monitoring of the exhaled nitric oxide fraction (FeNO) improves asthma management. However, the studies seldom consider the full range of patients seen in clinical practise. In the present study, the ability of FeNO to reflect asthma control over time is investi...
Exhaled Nitric Oxide and its role in the treatment of Asthma Part I
In medicine, exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) can be measured in a breath test for asthma which is characterized by airway inflammation. Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous molecule produced by certain cell types in an inflammatory response. Exhaled NO (also referred to as FENO) is a promising biomarker as ...
Exhaled Nitric Oxide Measurements Can Be Used to Both Diagnose and Rule Out Asthma: Presented at AAAAI
Doctors have been using fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) measurements to indicate airway inflammation and aid in asthma diagnosis for some time, leading many to believe that these measurements could play a role in actually diagnosing the problem. As it turns out, this noninvasive, inflammat...
Relationship of exhaled nitric oxide to clinical and inflammatory markers of persistent asthma in children
Exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) is a noninvasive test that measures airway provides information about the asthmatic state consistent with information from other markers of inflammation. It is a noninvasive technique that could be used in decisional management of children with asthma. Asthma control i...
