The Reliability of the Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity Determination
Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 1962The test-retest reliability of the ten second breath-holding method for the determination of pulmonary diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide was studied in a series of 151 men and women, including patients, normal subjects and athletes.The mean and standard deviation of the DLCO was 28.2 ± 10.09 ml × min−1 × mmHg−1.

It has been previously shown that conventional methods of measuring the single-breath diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCOsb) overestimate diffusion in normal subjects when the expiratory flow rate is reduced, when the collection of ...

A simple method was developed for estimating pulmonary diffusing capacity by morphometry using light microscopic preparations of normal and diseased human lungs. It should be particularly useful in studying emphysematous lungs obtained at autopsy in view

The Single-Breath Carbon Monoxide Diffusing Capacity
, 2015Measurements of the single-breath carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (Dl) were obtained on a randomly selected sample representative of the white non-Mexican-American population of Tucson, Arizona. Methods of measurement followed the guidelines set forth

Diffusion Capacity in Heart Transplant Recipients
Chest, 1992Preoperative diffusion capacity per liter alveolar volume (Kco) in cardiac transplant recipients with an intrinsic normal lung is within the normal range. In the first postoperative year, Kco showed a significant mean decrease of 12 percent (p less than 0.004). Lung function (TLC, VC, FEV1) tended to normalize after heart transplantation.

Although resting steady state measurements of pulmonary diffusing capacity of the lung are frequently used in the evaluation of patients, results from such tests are often quite variable because the steady state method is highly dependent upon alveolar ...

BACKGROUND Asbestosis is an interstitial lung disease whose radiographic severity has long been graded by the International Labour Office (ILO) profusion score. Its effect on pulmonary function is further impacted by asbestos related pleural thickening.

The effect of tiotropium on the pulmonary diffusing capacity
Methods and Findings in Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology, 2007To our knowledge, there is no data on the effect of tiotropium on pulmonary gas exchange in healthy subjects. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of tiotropium on pulmonary diffusing capacity. Twenty-one healthy volunteers were enrolled for a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
