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.

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.

INCREASE OF PULMONARY DIFFUSING CAPACITY IN SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS
Rheumatology, 1994Pulmonary function tests and chest radiographs of 29 non-smoking systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients were analysed, featuring an apparently paradoxic finding of an increased diffusing lung capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO). Twenty-one patients (72%) had abnormal pulmonary function, 11 of them had restrictive disease (38%), six (21%) had isolated DLCO ...

Effect of exercise on pulmonary diffusing capacity
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1963The effect of graded exercise on the pulmonary diffusing capacity for both oxygen and carbon monoxide measured simultaneously was studied in healthy young adults by steady-state methods. Pulmonary diffusing capacity for oxygen increases progressively with increasing severity of exercise; it exceeds the DlCO at high levels of exercise by amounts ...

Pulmonary diffusing capacity in healthy caucasian children
Pediatric Pulmonology, 2011AbstractPrevious studies of pulmonary diffusing capacity in children differed greatly in methodologies; numbers of subjects evaluated, and were performed prior to the latest ATS/ERS guidelines. The purpose of our study was to establish reference ranges for the diffusing capacity to carbon monoxide (DLCO) and alveolar volume (VA) in healthy Caucasian ...

Pulmonary diffusing capacity in chronic renal failure
British Journal of Diseases of the Chest, 1981Reduced carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) is a frequent and often isolated pulmonary physiological abnormality in patients with chronic renal failure. In 20 patients with chronic renal failure who had normal spirometry (FEV1 and FVC greater than 80% of predicted) and near normal chest roentgenograms (three had mild cardiomegaly), the DLCO was ...

Influence of age on pulmonary diffusing capacity
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1959The pulmonary function of 24 normal subjects ranging in age from 20 to 50 years has been studied at rest and during exercise. At rest there is a significant decrease with age in the pulmonary diffusing capacity and the level of diffusing capacity attained on exercise at any particular oxygen uptake decreases with increasing age.

Smoking and pulmonary diffusing capacity.
Scandinavian journal of respiratory diseases, 1975The pulmonary diffusing capacity (DLCO SB) and its two components, the capillary blood volume (Vc) and the diffusing capacity of the membrane (DMCO), expressed in absolute values and per litre of alveolar volume (VA'), were measured at rest and on exercise in healthy male smokers and nonsmokers of similar age and height, and with identical values for ...

The effect of salbutamol on pulmonary diffusing capacity
Respiratory function technologists/scient., 2019Background: In the last few years an increase in obstructive airway diseases has been reported. Studies showing the effect of bronchodilation in the alveolar-capillary diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO) have been rare, and with different conclusions.
