HPS patients tend to have a decreased CO diffusion capacity with normal pulmonary capacity and expiratory flow rates [ 17, 37].

His uncorrected CO diffusing capacity was even lower than in 2010 (38%%), while his corrected CO diffusing capacity had increased slightly (66%%).
DL CO: diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide; ES: emphysema score; FEV: forced expiratory volume; FVC: forced vital capacity; IPF: idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; mPAP: mean pulmonary artery pressure; NSIP: non-specific interstitial pneumonia; PFT: pulmonary function test; RHC: right heart catheterization; TLC: total lung capacity; UIP: usual interstitial pneumonia.
CO adsorption capacity (STP) of 0.55 mmol/g and CO2 at 2.05 mmol/g were obtained.
The Langmuir constant and CO chemisorption capacity was determined based on data derived from measurements using a Micromeritics ASAP 2020-C instrument.
These values for QHFO were found to be not significantly different from simultaneous thermodilution determinations of cardiac output and these values for DHFO were found to be not significantly different from single breath or rebreathing determinations of CO diffusing capacity.
