Morphometric model for pulmonary diffusing capacity I. Membrane diffusing capacity
Respiration Physiology, 1993The pulmonary diffusing capacity is related to the quantitative design characteristics of the pulmonary gas exchanger. The current model for estimating DLO2 from morphometric data breaks the diffusion path for O2 into four steps, three of which represent the membrane part of DLO2.

Standardized single breath normal values for carbon monoxide diffusing capacity.
American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015Prediction equations for DLCO and diffusing capacity per unit of lung volume (DL/VA) were generated from 245 normal subjects (122 women and 123 men) using a standardized technique for measuring DLCO. Measurements were made at an altitude of 1,400 meters.

, 2005 Transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide over the alveolocapillary membrane is the main function of the lungs and can be measured by the diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (CO). CO has a high affinity for hemoglobin and is absent in pulmonary capillary blood.

Carbon Monoxide Diffusing Capacity
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1989Before measuring single-breath DLCO it is important to: (1) standardize carefully test technique and computation using current ATS guidelines; (2) confirm that computerized systems correctly perform the calculations; and (3) confirm that the reference values selected are consistent with the data produced by the device in the laboratory by comparing ...

Pulmonary diffusing capacity in healthy African‐American and Caucasian children
Pediatric Pulmonology, 2016Previous studies of pulmonary diffusing capacity in healthy children primarily focused upon Caucasian (C) subjects. Since lung volumes in African‐Americans (AA) are smaller than lung volumes in C subjects of the same height, diffusing capacity values in ...

Pulmonary diffusing capacity of athletes
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1963Champion swimmers have been found to have significantly higher steady-state pulmonary diffusing capacities than those measured in normal subjects of comparable age at the same exercise level. Nonactive and moderately active normal subjects, swimmers of average ability, long distance runners, and older ex-athletes were found to show no significant ...

A rebreathing method for estimating diffusing capacity, membrane diffusing capacity, pulmonary capillary blood volume, pulmonary capillary blood flow, and pulmonary tissue volume consists of rebreathing into a bag for 15 sec while acetylene, (18O)-carbon
