FeNO Examination

NIOX VERO is a unique device for the evaluation of airway inflammation in patients with respiratory problems, such as asthma. NIOX VERO measures Fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) which enables to exactly measure the level of allergic airway inflammation.

Regular FeNO examination helps to:

  • establish whether inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) treatment is suitable or not
  • to optimize the dosage of ICS and decrease the number of exacerbations (worsening of asthma) by up to 50%
  • determine if the patient is following his/her treatment and medication properly or not
  • results are known within 1 minute.

NIOX is a gold standard to measure the exhaled nitrix oxide, supported by European Respiratory Society (ERS) and American Thoracic Society (ATS).

 

How is Nitric Oxide measured?

The FeNO test is performed by using a portable device, which measures the level of nitric oxide while you slowly and steadily exhale air from your lungs. This is different from most other similar tests, where you need to blow hard and fast to get an accurate measurement.

Why is Nitric Oxide measured?

Your allergist may use this test to determine if you have allergic or eosinophilic asthma or not or whether you have the typical inflammation associated with these types of asthma. Repeated checks also serve to find out if the prescribed medication is working and is lowering the nitric oxide level or not.

What is Nitric Oxide

It is a gas that is produced by the cells involved in the inflammation that is associated with allergic or eosinophilic asthma.

I would like to share my positive experience with the Atoda clinic (and Dr. Nader). About a year ago, my mother (86 years old) began to change before our eyes from one day to the next. She had a constant fever and complained of pain in her shoulders. We visited our general practitioner several times, but he dismissed us, saying that she had probably caught a cold. Someone advised me to try rheumatology (the first piece of advice, which unfortunately did not come from our general practitioner).
The waiting time for an appointment was about three months at that time, so I called around the entire Central Bohemian Region. And then I found the ATODA MEDICAL website. From that moment on, it was like I was in a different world—we made an appointment for the next day, treatment began immediately after the examination, and within three days, my mother began to feel relief for the first time after months of pain. Dr. Nader gave her back her zest for life! His professional yet humane approach is truly incredible. He is great at establishing rapport, calmed my mother down, and made the treatment easier. The overall attitude of the reception and staff is also wonderful. Thank you on behalf of myself and my mother!!!!:-)

I've already used services of more specialists in Atoda Medical and every time I was satisfied with high quality service and very pleasant approach. All the same I can say about the nurses and receptionists who were always willing and quick to respond to any of my requests.
