Volatile Organic Compounds Frequently Identified after Hyperbaric Hyperoxic Exposure: The VAPOR Library

Diving or hyperbaric oxygen therapy with increased partial pressures of oxygen (pO<sub>2</sub>) can have adverse effects such as central nervous system oxygen toxicity or pulmonary oxygen toxicity (POT). Prevention of POT has been a topic of interest for several decades. One of the most...

description Diving or hyperbaric oxygen therapy with increased partial pressures of oxygen (pO<sub>2</sub>) can have adverse effects such as central nervous system oxygen toxicity or pulmonary oxygen toxicity (POT). Prevention of POT has been a topic of interest for several decades. One of the most promising techniques to determine early signs of POT is the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath. We reanalyzed the data of five studies to compose a library of potential exhaled markers for the early detection of POT. GC-MS data from five hyperbaric hyperoxic studies were collected. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to compare baseline- and postexposure measurements; all ion fragments that significantly varied were compared by similarity using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. All identified molecules were cross-referenced with open-source databases and other scientific publications on VOCs to exclude compounds that occurred as a result of contamination, and to identify the compounds most likely to occur due to hyperbaric hyperoxic exposure. After identification and removal of contaminants, 29 compounds were included in the library. This library of hyperbaric hyperoxic-related VOCs can help to advance the development of an early noninvasive marker of POT. It enables validation by others who use more targeted MS-related techniques, instead of full-scale GC-MS, for their exhaled VOC research.
