Prediction of the Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity in Pediatric Patients

diffusing capacity in mL CO per min per mm Hg (Weng and Levison) =

= (0.228 * (height in centimeters)) - 17.556

diffusing capacity in mL CO per min per mm Hg (Weng and Levison) =

= (14.44 * (body surface area in square meters)) - 2.63

diffusing capacity in mL CO per min per mm Hg (Strang) =

= (0.1535 * (height in centimeters)) - 9.1

diffusing capacity in mL CO per min per mm Hg in males (DeMuth et al) =

= (0.00001817 * ((height in centimeters)^2.767))

diffusing capacity in mL CO per min per mm Hg in females (DeMuth et al) =

= (0.00002012 * ((height in centimeters)^2.724))
