About this trial
Mechanically ventilated intensive care patients will be sampled for a small amount of exhaled breath condensate from the ventilator circuit and for venous blood.
Proteomic analysis of the exhaled breath condensate will be performed using mass spectrometry and in the blood sample, corresponding changes in the DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites will be studied. Resulting profiles will be correlated with routinely monitored parameters in order to identify patterns corresponding to various pathologies in order to enable their early detection.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Comparison of proteomic patterns of the exhaled breath condensate in mechanically ventilated intensive care patients.
Proteomic patterns of the exhaled breath condensate will be studied in mechanically ventilated intensive care patients. The results will be analysed and compared with the aim to identify patterns specific for the pathological conditions.
Secondary outcomes
Correlation of exhaled breath condensate patterns with molecular biological findings in venous blood - DNA
Venous blood sample will be analysed employing targeted analyses of DNA. The results will be correlated to proteomic patterns obtained from the exhaled breath condensate.
Correlation of exhaled breath condensate patterns with molecular biological findings in venous blood - RNA
Venous blood sample will be analysed employing targeted analyses of RNA. The results will be correlated to proteomic patterns obtained from the exhaled breath condensate.
Correlation of exhaled breath condensate patterns with molecular biological findings in venous blood - proteins
Venous blood sample will be analysed employing targeted analyses of proteins. The results will be correlated to proteomic patterns obtained from the exhaled breath condensate.
Correlation of exhaled breath condensate patterns with molecular biological findings in venous blood - metabolites
Venous blood sample will be analysed employing targeted analyses of metabolites. The results will be correlated to proteomic patterns obtained from the exhaled breath condensate.
