- Page navigation anchor for Fractional exhaled nitric oxide testingFractional exhaled nitric oxide testingNICE has been suggesting this test for some time in adults and children either in draft or published guidelines sadly without saying ''who should pay' Like other near patient testing systems (D-dimer, CRP) the benefit is to the health care economy but the cost is potentially to the primary care service. Not a viable economic model! Sort of related I did not see any mention of the Pleasant trail which is a technology free way of trying to prevent exacerbations. Summary below:In summary therefore, the intervention increased both the proportion of children collecting preventative prescrip-tions and scheduled contacts in August. The reduction of unscheduled care was not seen immediately but after September there was a positive intervention effect. There was also a reduction in costs.Competing Interests: None declared.
