Abstract
The sampling of exhaled breath is a noninvasive procedure that can be performed easily in adults, children, and patients with respiratory disease. Several studies have demonstrated increased exhaled nitric oxide in patients with pulmonary disease, including asthma. In addition, exhaled nitric oxide may be an elegant tool for monitoring of environmental health effects of air pollution and the prevalence of atopy in epidemiological surveys. Recent literature about exhaled nitric oxide is presented in this article. Technical, physiological, and behavioral confounding factors of exhaled nitric oxide measurement are outlined.
