Abstract
Up to now diffusion limitation versus ventilation-perfusion inhomogeneities are in dispute as the main reason for impairing pulmonary gas exchange within interstitial lung diseases (Finley et al., 1962, Wagner et al., 1976, Jernudd-Wilhelmsson et al., 1986, Agusti et al., 1987, Hempleman and Hughes, 1991, Hughes et al., 1991, Yamaguchi et al., 1991). In order to assess pulmonary gas transport, such methods as the estimation of the arterial partial pressure of oxygen during nitrogen washout (Finley et al., 1962), the multiple inert gas elimination technique (Wagner et al., 1976, Jernudd-Wilhelmsson et al., 1986, Agusti et al., 1987, Hughes et al., 1991, Yamaguchi et al., 1991) and the determination of the single breath diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (Finley et al., 1962, Wagner et al., 1976, Hughes et al., 1991) have been applied.
