Embodiment 2:
Referring to fig. 4, a kind of detection method of Exhaled nitric oxide content, including following operating procedure:
Step 1: acquisition subject expiratory air: subject expiratory air acquisition position include lower respiratory tract expiratory air andOne or both of nasal cavity expiratory air;
Step 2: the water mist in filtering expiratory air;
Step 3: Exhaled nitric oxide content detection: containing to nitric oxide is carried out through step 2 treated expiratory airAmount detection;Content of nitric oxide in lower respiratory tract expiratory air is controlled in expiratory air flow velocity when detecting in 50 ± 5ml/s, when continuingBetween be 6~10 seconds;Control is in expiratory air flow velocity in 5~8ml/s, duration when the content of nitric oxide detection of nasal cavity expiratory airIt is 6~10 seconds;
Step 4: input subject's personal information: inputting the personal information of subject, including surname by information input terminalName, gender, age, body temperature, smoking history, symptom type and symptom duration;
Step 5: display subject's Exhaled nitric oxide content detection result and personal information.
In the present embodiment, contained according to the Exhaled nitric oxide that the actual symptoms of subject may be selected to carry out corresponding siteAmount detection.When the main malaise symptoms of subject are cough, expectoration, asthma, abscess of throat, the symptoms such as be short of breath, should acquire byThe lower respiratory tract expiratory air of examination person, acquisition mode is that soft palate is closed when exhaling, by the air-flow of the exhalation of oral cavity acquisition subject, thenIt carries out corresponding expiratory air pretreatment, exhaled air flow speed is controlled when content of nitric oxide detects in 50 ± 5ml/s, the duration is6~10 seconds.Relative to lower respiratory tract, nasal cavity Exhaled nitric oxide can accumulate higher concentration, therefore to lower breathingWhen the expiratory air sampling in road, it should be closed soft palate, prevent expiratory air in nasal cavity from entering, influence the detection knot of lower respiratory tract expiratory airFruit.
Whens the uncomfortable diseases of subject are mainly shown as intermittent nasal obstruction, runny nose, sneezing etc., the nasal cavity of subject should be acquiredExpiratory air, acquisition mode is to make gas full of two nostrils during holding one's breath using oral cavity natural aspiration, then by single or twoIt exhales in a nostril;Corresponding expiratory air pretreatment is carried out again, and exhaled air flow speed is controlled when content of nitric oxide detects in 5 ± 8ml/S, duration are 6~10 seconds.
It is on-line checking or offline inspection to the content of nitric oxide detection mode in expiratory air in step 3.On-line checkingFast speed can quickly be judged.But different subject's coutroi velocities is inconsistent, easily leads to detection data poor repeatability,It can be used for tentatively judging;Offline inspection can control Ventilation Rate, guarantee the repeatability of testing result, at the same can far from instrument intoRow sampling meets remote detection demand.But sample be easy to cause sample to pollute in storage, transportational process, and detection time is long, nothingMethod realizes immediate assessment.Two kinds of detection modes respectively have superiority and inferiority, can select corresponding detection mode according to the actual conditions of subject,Meets the needs of different.
It as above is the embodiment of the present invention.Design parameter in above-described embodiment and embodiment is merely to understand tableInvention verification process is stated, the scope of patent protection being not intended to limit the invention, scope of patent protection of the invention is still with itIt is all to change with equivalent structure made by specification and accompanying drawing content of the invention subject to claims, it should all similarly wrapContaining within the scope of the present invention.
