What is diffusing capacity and why is it important?

The diffusing capacity of the lung as a whole is often used as an indicator of clinical conditions and in a clinical or laboratory environment, we use carbon monoxide to determine this measure. In this video from our Blood Gas Analysis Essentials course, we'll take a look at the importance of diffusing capacity as a measure of gas exchange and consider the clinical factors affecting it.
