The measurement of single-breath diffusing capacity (Dlco(SB)) assumes that diffusing capacity per liter of alveolar volume (Dlco/VA) determined in a 750-mL gas sample represents the diffusing capacity (Dlco) of the entire lung. Fast-responding gas analyzers provide the opportunity to verify this assumption because of the possibility to measure CO and CH(4) fractions continuously throughout the entire expiration. Continuous gas sampling provides more information per measurement, but this information cannot be expressed in the traditional parameters. Our goals were to find new parameters to express the extra information of the continuous gas sampling, and to compare these new parameters with the traditional parameters.
