Detection of Propofol in Exhaled Breath

August 7, 2014 updated by: Xhale Assurance

Propofol in Exhaled Breath: Real-time Detection by Surface Acoustic Wave Sensors.

This study involves the use of an experimental device which will measure how much propofol is present in your exhaled breath during surgery compared to how much is in your blood. The study results will look at whether the device is as accurate as conventional methods for measuring propofol levels during surgery.

Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Propofol
Subjects will be given Propofol during routine surgery and then using the SMART Device the breath will be captured and compared to blood plasma using High-performance liquid chromatography Analysis.
Other: High-performance liquid chromatography Analysis
Blood samples will be collected for HPLC analysis to compare with the breath samples.
Device: SMART Device
Breath collection for GC-MS analysis to compare with Blood collection.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Comparison of propofol concentrations in exhaled breath to those in plasma
Time Frame: Sampling will occur every 2 minutes after anesthetic induction up to 10 minutes and then every 5 minutes thereafter up to 1 hour.
Measure and compare propofol concentrations in exhaled breath to those in plasma in human patients anesthetized with propofol. Samples of the exhaled breath from patients will be monitored using the SAW Sensor and collected onto Tenax TA Tubes for analysis by Thermal Desorption GC/MS (using the method described by Grossher et al.)
Sampling will occur every 2 minutes after anesthetic induction up to 10 minutes and then every 5 minutes thereafter up to 1 hour.
