Breath test for urgent chest pain in the emergency department
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a new breath test that looks for chemicals in your breath to help doctors quickly figure out if your chest pain is related to a serious heart problem. It's non-invasive, just blowing into a tube, and could help you get the right care faster in the ER.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is testing a new tool to help doctors quickly and accurately figure out if chest pain means a heart problem. It aims to speed up triage, so you might get the right care faster.
This study uses a special device called an electronic nose to analyze your breath and look for signs of several diseases. It is a simple, non-invasive test that may help find health issues earlier, possibly leading to better treatment outcomes.
This study uses a simple breath test to detect different lung diseases. By analyzing the chemicals in your breath, researchers hope to find a faster, non-invasive way to diagnose lung conditions. It may be an option if you have a known lung disease and have a recent CT scan.
This trial looks at whether a new way of measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood can help doctors quickly understand why a patient is short of breath. It is for adults who come to the emergency room with trouble breathing, and it involves doing an extra analysis on a blood sample that would be taken anyway.
This trial tests a faster “ambulatory rapid evaluation” approach for adults who come in with chest pain that could be heart-related, but is not clearly an emergency. It may help doctors quickly sort who is safe to send home and who needs urgent heart testing, using specific ECG and blood test results.
This study tests whether a special breath test can help find respiratory infections (like pneumonia or sore throat) more easily. It might help doctors diagnose infections faster and with less discomfort than some current methods.
