Assessment of concordance between diffusion of carbon monoxide through the lung using the 10 s breath-hold method, and the simultaneous NO/CO technique, in healthy participants
ConclusionIn healthy participants, discrepancies between DLCO measured during the double diffusion and DLCO measured on an apnoea of 10 seconds are quite large. It may be an indication that the Roughton and Forster interpretation to describe this type of measurements is inadequate.
