Exhaled breath analysis is a promising new diagnostic tool, but currently no standardised method for sampling is available in mechanically ventilated patients. We identified potential sources of bias as illustrated in this figure.

Sixty years ago, Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling proposed the concept that human breath is a complex and dynamic gaseous mixture of more than 200 different endogenous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are continually being released in different quantities within the internal environment during health and disease. The researchers estimate that more than a thousand chemicals produced in different organ-systems as metabolic end products come out every minute through the respiratory tract. Volatile organic compounds and other products of oxidative stress are a big chunk among these exhaled breath elements.DOI: http://doi.dx.org/10.3126/nje.v3i2.8509

Today, exhaled nitric oxide has been studied the most, and most researches have now focusd on asthma. More than a thousand different volatile organic compounds have been observed in low concentrations in normal human breath. Alkanes and methylalkanes, the majority of breath volatile organic compounds, have been increasingly used by physicians as a novel method to diagnose many diseases without discomforts of invasive procedures. None of the individual exhaled volatile organic compound alone is specific for disease. Exhaled breath analysis techniques may be available to diagnose and monitor the diseases in home setting when their sensitivity and specificity are improved in the future.
