About this trial

This study aims to use mass spectrometry techniques to analyze exhaled patient breath in non-COVID ICU-admitted patients requiring ventilation for a rapid and accurate early detection of pulmonary diseases and inflammatory markers.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Non-COVID-19 adult consented patients (>18yo) on ventilatory support in the ICU at OHSU

Disqualifiers

Patient with severe hemodynamic instability as defined by (a) receiving IV infusion of 2 or more pressors or inotropic medications (Levophed, vasopressin, phenylephrine, or epinephrine) & (b) MAP of <60 mmHg or SB <80 mmHg
