“…La cooximetría, se realizó durante la fase de evaluación, mediante un cooxímetro Micro+ ™ Smokerlyzer®, para medir el nivel de monóxido de carbono en el aire espirado, expresando su concentración en partículas por millón (p.p.m.) (33). La espirometría no estaba incluida dentro del programa, y cuando estaba indicada, se realizaba en el marco del plan de salud de cada participante.…”

“…The first type is breath expiratory carbon monoxide (CO) monitoring. This is a non-invasive method of blowing into the device which records the amount of CO in the blood (Bittoun, 2008;Irving et al, 1988). The second biochemical feedback which can be invasive involves measuring the amount of cotinine in a sample of blood, urine, saliva or hair (Florescu et al, 2009).…”

Background: Smoking cessation involves changing of unhealthy smoking habit which accounts for 63% of global deaths. This study was in response to the United Nations General Assembly Global Forum for Noncommunicable Disease's invitation to nurse researchers to evaluate smoking cessation interventions for their students. Objective: To evaluate "Tobaccofree campus initiative" combined with tobacco cessation interventions as quitting model for student nurses. Methods: This was the second part of a multi-phase study which involved a series of 'No-smoking' campaigns, enforced tobaccofree campus initiative, mandatory weekly monitoring of biological health indicators and biochemical feedback using expiratory carbon monoxide (CO) levels for 36 real cigarette and shisha smokers. The quasi-experiment lasted 10 weeks. Participants' data on tobacco use, quit attempts and self-efficacy (SE) were collected using a 25-item bilingual questionnaire. Counseling and smoking cessation aids for their choice were offered. Results: All the participants lived with their families and 70% of the families smoked cigarette and/or shisha. Previous quit attempts were statistically higher in males than females, 47.2% versus 13.9 % and (U=76.00, P= 0.007). High SE to quit was 36% and the quit rate for the last 4 weeks was 13.9%. Biological health indicators of participants such as pulse rate and systolic blood pressure improved as a result of cessation interventions. Conclusion: CO monitoring followed by counseling were effective smoking cessation interventions.

“…Breath carbon monoxide (CO) is a biochemical marker of recent cigarette smoking (see Bittoun, 2008; Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco Subcommittee on Biochemical Verification, 2002). Breath CO correlates well with other established assays of cigarette smoking, such as COHb concentration in blood samples (Hald, Overgaard, & Grau, 2003;Jarvis, Belcher, Vesey, & Hutchison, 1986), and urinary cotinine levels (Marrone, Paulpillai, Evans, Singleton, & Heishman, 2010;Marrone et al, 2011), and has high levels of sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing between cigarette smokers and non-smokers (Javors, Hatch, & Lamb, 2005;MacLaren et al, 2010;Perkins, Karelitz, & Jao, 2013;Raiff, Faix, Turturici, & Dallery, 2010).…”
