AI Article Synopsis
- This document provides an update to the 2005 technical standards from ERS/ATS regarding single-breath carbon monoxide uptake in the lungs.
- Key changes focus on the measurement of D, now using advanced gas analysers for carbon monoxide and tracer gases, which have become standard in new equipment.
- These advancements allow for better D measurements and the potential to incorporate additional lung function assessments.
Article Abstract
This document summarises an update to the European Respiratory Society (ERS)/American Thoracic Society (ATS) technical standards for single-breath carbon monoxide uptake in the lung that was last updated in 2005. The full standards are also available online as https://doi.org/10.1183/13993003.00016-2016 The major changes in these technical standards relate to D measurement with systems using rapidly responding gas analysers for carbon monoxide and the tracer gas, which are now the most common type of D instrumentation being manufactured. Technical improvements and the increased capability afforded by these new systems permit enhanced measurement of D and the opportunity to include other optional measures of lung function.
