Reference values of capillary blood volume and pulmonary membrane diffusing capacity in North African boys aged 8 to 16 years
Lung diffusing capacity estimated using nitric oxide (NO) as the tracer gas has been proposed as a direct measure of the pulmonary membrane diffusing capacity for NO (Dm) and the pulmonary capillary blood volume (Vc). Thus, the aims of this study were to identify the factors influencing Vc and Dm an...
