摘要: The actual metabolic capacity of the liver is crucial for disease identification, therapy, and tumor resection. By combining induced drug metabolism high sensitivity IR spectroscopy exhaled air, we provide a method quantitative assessment at bedside within 20 to 60 min. Fast administration 13C-labelled methacetin induces fast response tracked in real-time by increase 13CO2 air. concentration air allows determination (LiMAx-test). Fluctuations CO2 concentration, pressure temperature are minimized special gas handling, tracking several spectrally resolved absorption bands with quantum cascade laser. Absorption measurement different 12CO2 rotation-vibration transitions same time window multiple referencing reduction systematic errors. This FLIP (Fast investigation package) setup being successfully used plan operations determine status patients.
