Summary

This study tested whether a device called an electronic nose could tell if a person had fasted or not just by analyzing their breath. About 879 adults scheduled for an endoscopy breathed into the device for 5 minutes. The goal was to see if the device could detect differences in breath chemicals between fasting and non-fasting states.
