➡️ What is the DLCO Test?
DLCO stands for: Diffusing Capacity of Carbon Monoxide in the Lungs. It's a PFT test that is performed to assess the extent to which carbon monoxide can diffuse from air into the bloodstream. During this test, carbon monoxide is used because it has a high affinity for hemoglobin. This helps Respiratory Therapists and medical professionals determine how well oxygen can diffuse through the lungs into the bloodstream as well.

➡️ A DLCO Test may be indicated for patients with:
▪ Emphysema
▪ Pulmonary Fibrosis
▪ Pulmonary Edema
▪ Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

Patients with these conditions may show poor diffusion during the DLCO Test which correlates with poor diffusion of oxygen. Again, this video was designed simply to provide you with the medical definition and a quick overview of this topic. We'll be breaking it down into much more detail in future videos.
