Breath test for chest pain in the emergency room
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if a simple breath test can help emergency doctors figure out if your chest pain is caused by a heart problem. You just breathe into a tube, and the chemicals in your breath are analyzed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new system to quickly assess people with chest tightness or chest pain and help doctors decide if they have acute coronary syndrome (a heart condition). It aims to speed up care and avoid unnecessary tests.
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 uses a simple breath test to look for signs of lung infections. It aims to see if the test can help doctors find infections faster and more easily than current methods.
This trial is for people who come to the emergency room with new or worsening chest pain not caused by an injury. It aims to build an early warning system to better classify and treat chest pain.
