摘要：
Disclosed herein are methods and devices for measurement of carbon dioxide and nitric oxide in exhaled breath of patients at risk for or suffering from sepsis. Carbon dioxide and nitric oxide levels may be measured in controlled rate breath and/or end tidal breath, and a risk score for the patient developing or having sepsis may be determined. In many embodiments, carbon dioxide and nitric oxide measurements are determined simultaneously in a single breath, and by a single measurement apparatus, while other embodiments measure nitric oxide and carbon dioxide levels using separate measure apparatuses and/or in different breaths of the patient.
