Diffusion Capacity

The Diffusion Capacity test measures how effectively oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the lungs and the bloodstream. This assessment helps determine the efficiency of gas transfer in the lungs, which is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring various pulmonary conditions.

• Measure Gas Exchange: Assesses the efficiency of oxygen and carbon dioxide transfer.
• Evaluate Lung Function: Provides insights into how well lungs perform gas exchange.
• Diagnose Conditions: Helps identify diseases affecting lung function and gas diffusion.
• Monitor Health: Useful for tracking the progression of respiratory and pulmonary disorders.
