However, these studies are still in the validation phase of instrument effectiveness, often limited by small sample sizes or inappropriate instrument selection, and thus lack convincing results regarding these correlations. In this study, one hundred patients aged 18-65, undergoing elective thyroid surgery under general anesthesia were included. The vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photoionization and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF MS) was employed to monitor Ce-pro at 20-second intervals, alongside continuous BIS measurement. The association between Ce-pro and BIS was analyzed using linear mixed-effects models, with marginal R² used to assess the correlation. The threshold of Ce-pro at awakening was also explored. Additionally, the univariate and multifactorial diagnostic model, including end-of-surgery Ce-pro, were employed to assess the accuracy of predicting delayed recovery. A weak correlation was observed between intraoperative Ce-pro and BIS (marginal R2 = 0.348). Predictive models utilising end-of-surgery Ce-pro levels showed good accuracy (AUC = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.62 to 0.89, P = 0.003) in predicting delayed recovery, while the model using end-of-surgery Ce-pro combined with gender, sufentanil dosage, the time from the last administration of sufentanil to the end of surgery, and anesthesia duration demonstrated stronger predicting accuracy (AUC = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.85 to 0.98, P < 0.001). This study suggests that Ce-pro alone may not reliably predict the depth of anesthesia in clinical practice, but shows promising accuracy in predicting delayed recovery from anesthesia.&#xD;Clinical trial number: ChiCTR2300074605&#xD;Keywords: Propofol; Exhaled Breath; BIS; Correlation.</p>","PeriodicalId":15306,"journal":{"name":"Journal of breath research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142681826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to explore the role of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in the pathogenesis of idiopathic halitosis, and to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of a probiotic preparation on this condition. This retrospective observational study included 162 idiopathic halitosis patients and 198 healthy controls (HCs). Halitosis was diagnosed using the organoleptic test, and idiopathic halitosis was diagnosed by excluding known causes.

Idiopathic halitosis patients were treated with the probiotic preparation<i>Bifidobacterium</i>triple viable capsule for two months, followed by re-evaluation of halitosis and SIBO.

This study tested the performance of SPEAR-P1 (synchronized personal exhaled air removal system - prototype 1), which actively detects expiration and removes exhaled air using an open, non-sealing lightweight facemask connected to a deep vacuum generating unit (DVGU). Fourteen healthy examinees practiced breathing through facemasks at 30, 25 and 20 breaths per minute; oxygen and nebulized saline were added at later steps. To test the efficacy of removing exhaled air, CO2 was used as a proxy and its level was measured from the outer surface of the open facemask. Compared to the baseline recording, SPEAR-P1 reduced CO2 escaping from the facemask by 66% on average for all study steps and respiratory rates (p<0.001), reaching 85.55% on average at 20 breaths per minute (p<0.001). This study shows that removing exhaled air from examinees using an open, non-sealing lightweight facemask is feasible. Future development of this system will enhance its efficacy and provide a method to remove a patient's contaminating aerosol without the need to \"seal\" the patient, especially in settings where isolation rooms are not readily available.</p>","PeriodicalId":15306,"journal":{"name":"Journal of breath research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142375462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
