58,000 new asthmatics diagnosed, 1,244 additional FeNO testing devices in primary care, 53% of primary care networks now with access to FeNO testing in England. All thanks to the efforts of the Wessex AHSN FeNO Programme. We’re taking a look.
Electronic or ‘e-cigarettes’ have gained significant popularity in recent years as an alternative to traditional tobacco smoking. However, concerns have been raised regarding the...
Studies show that FeNO testing is one of the tools that can help. This article looks at the highlights.
Did you know the world’s first FeNO testing machine was developed by the team behind NIOX®? It was 1.5m tall and 70cm wide! Our cutting-edge technology has come a long way since then. Here’s a little about the story of the FeNO evolution.
Most national and international societies today recommend FeNO and emphasise the value of FeNO testing for more accurate diagnosis and better asthma management. This article provides a helpful overview of the main recommendations for FeNO testing.
How can you be sure a patient is correctly carrying out a FeNO test? We’re looking at audio guides and how they can help ensure success.
A FeNO level greater than 40 ppb means asthma is seven times more likely. But why is FeNO higher in asthma patients? This article looks at the science.
Professor David Price describes the mounting evidence or FeNO testing to improve asthma treatment in both primary and secondary care.
What if someone told you it was possible to start reducing asthma exacerbations by up to 50% with a simple desktop device, right there at the patient’s appointment? With FeNO testing, you can. To get an idea...
Believe it or not, some asthma patients are collecting more than 50 SABA canisters a year. The recommendation is two! We’re looking at the facts about...
This article summarises 10 top tips from the experts at the Royal College of Physicians in London and the American Lung Association.
FeNO levels are measured in parts per billion – think 1 second in 32 years! Why is this so crucial for accuracy? Read our article now.
FeNO is a great asthma management tool and, to optimise treatment, it’s helpful to understand the clinical context for each patient so they can reach the right FeNO level for them. The American Thoracic Society (ATS) defined...
Measuring FeNO is straightforward and gives results at the point-of-care. The American Thoracic Society sets out clear cut points defining low, normal and high FeNO. But where do you begin?
Lots of us are looking forward (or not!) to the long summer holiday when the schools are shut and the general pace of life slows down. The next couple of months is also a good time to...
Symptoms worsen for around a third of pregnant women with asthma, yet many are reluctant to take medication, which they believe could affect the...
Asthma is characterised by chronic airway inflammation. It is one of the main causes of the exacerbations – or asthma attacks – that can have such a debilitating impact on...
The ability to test and obtain results at the point-of-care means FeNO (fractional exhaled nitric oxide) is the most convenient biomarker of airway...
Air pollution has long been linked to asthma in children and known to contribute to worsening symptoms. According to the WHO, 4.2m deaths occur every year from...
Exhaling for 10 seconds for all adult patients is one of the most important steps in FeNO testing. This article looks in detail at why this timing is so...
Interest in precision medicine is growing. For asthma, the challenge lies in differentiating between the various types of the disease to allow physicians...
Since its discovery in the 1990s, FeNO (fractional exhaled nitric oxide) has proved to be a helpful biomarker to guide asthma diagnosis...
To date, there is no single test available to diagnose asthma. Alongside traditional methods such as spirometry and peak expiratory flow...
Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are the cornerstone of asthma controller therapy. However, patients don’t always adhere to...
A look at what is important when measuring FeNO levels and how the technology behind NIOX VERO® addresses these needs...
FeNO values are used to indicate the likelihood that a patient has airway inflammation, a key characteristic of asthma. Knowing a patient's FeNO level can help diagnose asthma more accurately...
The colder months of the year see many asthmatics experience a worsening in their symptoms as autumn and winter bring a rush of triggers. From cold air outside to central heating within...
A new paper has been published demonstrating that FeNO testing is not an aerosol-generating procedure (AGP). Read our overview to find out how FeNO testing with NIOX VERO® can be safely continued.
Our highlights from this friendly and informative debate from the European Respiratory Society's International Congress 2021. Dr Iñigo Ojanguren Arranz, from University Hospital in Barcelona, says FeNO...
Asthma exacerbations cause distress and can easily lead to a medical emergency. Here, we look at how regular FeNO testing can be used to help reduce the number of exacerbations and improve quality of life for asthma patients...
Due to the complexity of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), diagnosis is often delayed or even missed completely. This article explains how a simple nasal nitric oxide (nNO) test can assist in identifying the disease at an early stage.
In this article, we will discuss how certain types of food affect FeNO and what information clinicians can give patients to ensure reliable results.
Considering that several factors may cause variation in FeNO levels, how reliable are such tests? Let’s look at recent reproducibility studies and what they tell us regarding the accuracy of FeNO testing.
Good control of asthma exacerbations benefits both patients and healthcare providers. Recent studies show that introducing FeNO (fractional exhaled nitric oxide) testing to overall asthma...
In this article, we look back at the scientific milestones that paved the way for today’s FeNO devices like NIOX®.
In this article we want to look at how regular use of FeNO measurement devices like NIOX VERO® can improve asthma management and could reduce the strain on the healthcare system.
