The diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) is used to measure the body's ability to transfer oxygen across the alveolar-capillary membrane. [1] Internists use this test to identify ...

Extending the use of a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in premature infants by two weeks significantly increases lung volume and lung diffusion capacity, according to a new study.

In a recent study posted to the Preprints with The Lancet SSRN* server, researchers evaluated the impairment of pulmonary function in individuals suffering from post-acute sequelae of coronavirus ...

Background—Pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (Dlco), alveolar capillary membrane diffusing capacity (Dm), and pulmonary capillary blood volume (Vc) are all significantly reduced after ...

What are pulmonary function tests? Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are tests of lung function. They are intended to evaluate and monitor chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is ...
