Pulmonary diffusing capacity is often measured by D iffusion capacity of the L ungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO). In essence, this measures how much CO can pass from the alveoli to the blood in the pulmonary capillaries, thus giving clinicians the broader idea of how much inhaled gas can pass into the blood through the lungs. The single-breath carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (D l CO) is the product of two measurements during breath holding at full inflation: (1) the rate constant for carbon monoxide uptake from alveolar gas (k co [minute −1]) and (2) the “accessible” alveolar volume (V a). k co expressed per mm Hg alveolar dry gas pressure (Pb*) as k co /Pb*, and then multiplied by V a, equals D l CO; thus The diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) is a pulmonary function testing, implemented since the early 20 th Century, that tries to evaluate how much oxygen is exchanged between the alveoli (the lung air sacks) and the blood stream at the capillary level. DLCO explained Changes in haemoglobin impact on the CO transfer, therefore, when testing the diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide, in some cases, the test result needs to be corrected for haemoglobin levels. The variables used by the above DLCO calculator are: ■ Patient age and gender (to be used for correction); appropriately called transfer factor in Europe.

What to Expect Before the Test. Prediction equations for the carbon monoxide diffusing capacity of the lung ( DLCO) and diffusing capacity per liter of lung volume (DLCO/VA) were derived from Inhaled CO is used for this test due to its high affinity for hemoglobin (200-250 times that of oxygen).

kco expressed per mm Hg alveolar dry gas pressure (Pb*) as kco/Pb*, and then multiplied by Va, equals Dl (CO); thus, Dl (CO) divided by Va (DL (CO)/Va, also called Kco) is only kco/Pb* in different units, remaining, The single-breath carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (D lCO) is the product of two measurements during breath holding at full inflation: ( 1) the rate constant for carbon monoxide uptake from alveolar gas (k co [minute −1 ]) and ( 2) the “accessible” alveolar volume (V a ). k co expressed per mm Hg alveolar dry gas pressure (Pb*) as k co /Pb*, and then multiplied by V a, equals D lCO; thus, D lCO divided by V a (D lCO /V a, also called K co) is only k co /Pb* in different units Carbon monoxide is used for the clinical test of diffusing capacity (D l CO) because its extreme avidity for hemoglobin allows the back pressure to diffusion to be considered negligible.

Introduction cont., Diffusing capacity (also referred to as transfer factor) is usually measured using small concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO) and is referred to as DLCO or DCO. The single breath diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (Dsb) was measured using three equations to describe CO uptake separately during inhalation, breath holding, and exhalation in 24 patients with cystic fibrosis and 30 control subjects with similar age and height distributions. The diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DL CO) is a surrogate marker for lung damage, as found in patients with emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis and similar lung diseases, and it is useful during lung cancer screening in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [1, 2].

The abbreviation for transfer factor or diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide used in this document is DLCO, although TLCO is an equally valid term. A standardised clinical method of determining the diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide was D LCO or T LCO (diffusing capacity or transfer factor of the lung for carbon monoxide (CO),) is the extent to which oxygen passes from the air sacs of the lungs into the blood. Commonly, it refers to the test used to determine this parameter. It was introduced in 1909. For this reason, CO is generally the test gas used to measure the diffusing capacity and the equation simplifies to: D L C O = V ˙ C O P A C O {\displaystyle D_{L_{CO}}={\frac {{\dot {V}}_{CO}}{P_{A_{CO}}}}} . Diffusing Capacity Evaluation and Monitoring of Respiratory Function. Diffusing capacity measures the features at work involving movement AGEs in scuba diving and in DCS-like problems in breath-hold diving.

Carbon monoxide is used for the clinical test of diffusing capacity (D l CO) because its extreme avidity for hemoglobin allows the back pressure to diffusion to be considered negligible. In the widely used single-breath method, the subject exhales to RV, then takes a VC inhalation of the test gas, which contains a low level of carbon monoxide (0.3%) and an inert gas (e.g., 10% helium).

The calculation of the CO diffusing capacity DLco is based on the assumption that the CO tension in the plasma is negligible. Consequently, the pressure gradient across the membrane is equal to the CO tension in the alveolar gas (P ACO) and the diffusing capacity for CO is independent on the pulmonary perfusion rate. The difference in Dw and D LCO The diffusing capacity of carbon dioxide is even more difficult to track down.
