Expired CO2/O2 Analysis to Diagnose Pulmonary Embolism
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating BreathScreen PE for Pulmonary Embolism. Completed, enrolled 475 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage in one of the arteries of the lungs, and is usually caused by a traveling blood clot. The D-dimer blood test is currently used to diagnose PEs, but it is not always accurate for individuals who have recently undergone surgery or who have inflammatory-provoking diseases. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Carboximeter, a new PE diagnostic device that measures carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) output, in individuals at risk for developing PEs.
