Airway and alveolar NO contributions to exhaled NO are being extracted from exhaled NO measurements performed at different flow rates. To test the robustness of this method and the validity of the underlying model, we deliberately induced a change in NO uptake in the peripheral lung compartment by changing body posture between supine and prone. In 10 normal subjects, we measured exhaled NO at target flows ranging from 50 to 350 ml/s in supine and prone postures. Using two common methods…

Effect of blood redistribution on exhaled and alveolar nitric oxide: A hypergravity model study
Exhaled nitric oxide physiology and modeling
Increased nitric oxide concentrations in the small airway of older normal subjects.
TLDR
In nonsmoking healthy subjects with normal spirometry, Feno at 50 mL/s and Cano increased significantly with age ≥ 60 years, whereas J'awno did not, and it is suspect the increase in Cano was due to a decrease in capillary blood volume with reduced NO diffusion, which is also reflected in increased Feno.
Quantifying proximal and distal sources of NO in asthma using a multicompartment model.
TLDR
It is concluded that features of the NO exhalation profile that are commonly observed in mild asthma are more accurately simulated with the multicompartment model than with the two-compartment model.
Inflammation and airway function in the lung periphery of patients with stable asthma.
Standardisation and application of the single-breath determination of nitric oxide uptake in the lung
TLDR
This panel agrees that pulmonary function systems should allow for mixing and measurement of both nitric oxide and carbon monoxide gases directly from an inspiratory reservoir just before use, with expired concentrations measured from an alveolar “collection" or continuously sampled via rapid gas analysers.
Association of recent exposure to ambient metals on fractional exhaled nitric oxide in 9-11 year old inner-city children.
Preoperative FeNO as a screening indicator of pulmonary complications after abdominal surgery in patients over 60 years old.
TLDR
Preoperative FeNO levels may be used to screen the patients over 60 years old undergoing abdominal surgery with a lower probability to suffer PPCs whoes FeNO values less than 30.2 ppb, with 47.06% sensitivity and 93.10% specificity.

Effect of airways constriction on exhaled nitric oxide.
TLDR
The model indicated that the most marked effect of airways constriction is situated in generations 10-15 and that airway constriction beyond generation 15 markedly increases Fe(NO,50) due to interference with the NO backdiffusion effect, which should be considered when interpreting exhaled NO in lung disease.
Basal and induced NO formation in the pharyngo-oral tract influences estimates of alveolar NO levels.
TLDR
Estimated alveolar NO concentration is affected by pharyngo-oral tract production of NO in healthy subjects, with a decrease after CHX mouthwash, and unknown ingestion of dietary nitrate could significantly increase estimated alveolars NO in subjects with high nitrate turnover, and this might be falsely interpreted as a sign of peripheral inflammation.
Effect of heterogeneous ventilation and nitric oxide production on exhaled nitric oxide profiles.
TLDR
It is concluded that variability in ventilation and NO production in asthmatic subjects impacts the shape of the exhaled NO profile and thus impacts the physiological interpretation.
Single-exhalation profiles of NO and CO2 in humans: effect of dynamically changing flow rate.
TLDR
It is concluded that exhaled NO has an airway and an alveolar source and produces a nonzero intercept and slope that are subject dependent and can be used to quantitate the relative contribution of the airways and the alveoli to exhaled No.
Similar ventilation distribution in normal subjects prone and supine during tidal breathing.
TLDR
The absence of significant changes in any of the MBW indexes suggests that ventilation heterogeneity is similar in the supine and prone postures of normal subjects breathing near FRC, which is similar to previous studies of ventilation heterogeneity in healthy volunteers.
Lower pulmonary diffusing capacity in the prone vs. supine posture.
TLDR
The lower diffusing capacity of the healthy lung in the prone posture is interpreted based on the relatively larger space occupied by the heart in the dependent lung zones, leaving less space for zone 3 capillaries, and on the comparatively lower position of the heart, leaving the zone 3capillaries less engorged.
Simultaneous measurement of nitric oxide production by conducting and alveolar airways of humans.
TLDR
It is shown that mixing during exhalation between the NO produced by the lower, alveolar airways and the upper conducting airways explains this phenomenon and permits measurement of VL (NO), VU(NO), and the NO diffusing capacity of the conducting airway.
Modeling pulmonary nitric oxide exchange.
TLDR
A potential advantage of the two-compartment model is the ability to partition exhaled NO into an airway and alveolar source and thus improve the specificity of detecting altered NO exchange dynamics that differentially impact these regions of the lungs.
Airway contribution to alveolar nitric oxide in healthy subjects and stable asthma patients.
TLDR
In stable and unobstructed asthma patients, even with increased bronchial NO production, alveolar production is normal when appropriately corrected for backdiffusion, and Simulations predict that, because of back Diffusion, Fa(NO) and Fe(NO,prod) are linearly related.
Impact of axial diffusion on nitric oxide exchange in the lungs.
TLDR
It is concluded that axial diffusion may decrease exhaled NO levels; however, more advanced knowledge of the longitudinal distribution of NO production and diffusion is needed to develop a complete understanding of the impact of axial Diffusion.
