The Roughton-Forster equation for DLCO and DLNO re-examined

open access: yesRespiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2017
Roughton and Forster (RF) proposed to split the lung diffusing capacity into two contributions describing first, diffusion to red blood cells (RBC), and second, capture by diffusion from the RBC surface and reaction with haemoglobin. Solving the diffusion-reaction equations for simplified capillary-RBC structures, we investigate the RF interpretation ...

Standardization of spirometry and single breath DLCO tests

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Journal, 1988
Standards for patient care and especially for pulmonary function testing have become important world wide, especially in the United States [1, 2, 3]. Recently the American Thoracic Society (ATS) has published two new statements.

Relevance of Partitioning DLCO to Detect Pulmonary Hypertension in Systemic Sclerosis

open access: goldPLoS ONE, 2013
We investigated whether partitioning DLCO into membrane conductance for CO (DmCO) and pulmonary capillary blood volume (Vcap) was helpful in suspecting precapillary pulmonary (arterial) hypertension (P(A)H) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients with or ...

Longitudinal follow-up of postacute COVID-19 syndrome: DLCO, quality-of-life and MRI pulmonary gas-exchange abnormalities

open access: yesThorax, 2023
129Xe MRI red blood cell to alveolar tissue plasma ratio (RBC:TP) abnormalities have been observed in ever-hospitalised and never-hospitalised people with postacute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS).

One-year evolution of DLCO changes and respiratory symptoms in patients with post COVID-19 respiratory syndrome

open access: yesInfection, 2022
Purpose During a follow-up program of patients admitted for COVID-19 at our non-ICU Unit, we found that 37% of them had decreased diffusing lung capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) 3–6 months after discharge. This prospective observational study aimed to

Comparison of diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO) and total lung capacity (TLC) between Indigenous Australians and Australian Caucasian adults

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Background and objective Currently there is paucity of evidence in the literature in relation to normative values for diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO) and total lung capacity (TLC) among Indigenous Australians.
