Cross sectional case-control study investigating the difference of volatile organic compound in the exhaled breath of the patients with GI bleeding and normal population.
This study investigates the difference of volatile organic compound in the exhaled breath of the patients with GI bleeding and normal population. We aimed to find out the biomarkers for GI bleeding.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
60
Collection of exhaled breath will be analyzed for specific volatile organic compounds which show different distribution between groups

RECRUITINGVOC Patterns
Patterns of volatile organic compounds recognized by sensor array
Time frame: 1 day of 1st emergency room (ER) visit for GI bleeding
Measurement of VOC
Qualitative and quantitative assay of volatile organic compounds by GC-MS
Time frame: 1 day of 1st emergency room (ER) visit for GI bleeding
Change of VOC patterns
Change of the patterns of volatile organic compounds recognized by sensor array after recovery from GI bleeding
Time frame: 2nd visit (about 2weeks apart from 1st visit)
