How to calculate the single-breath nitric oxide diffusing capacity in rabbits

Abstract: Nitric oxide (NO) is a novel indicator gas for investigating alveolar capillary gas exchange conditions. In clinical practice, pulmonary gas uptake is determined by measuring the single-breath diffusing capacity (DL,NO). Different algorithms are employed to calculate DL,NO. To compare the accuracy of those most commonly used, we performed single-breath experiments on 12 artificially ventilated rabbits. In each animal four manoeuvres, executing breath-holds of 2, 4, 6 and 8 s, were carried out. In each case we … Show more
