The Diffusion Capacity calculator computes the diffusing capacity of the lung (DL) which is the measurement of the transfer of gas from the lungs to the red blood cells.
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
Diffusion Capacity (DL): The calculator returns the diffusion capacity in mL/(min·mmHg).
Used by pulmonologists, doctors who specialize in treating pulmonary conditions, to measure a patients diffusion capacity.
Diffusion Capacity = F / DeltaP' = 5/10 = .5
