diffusing capacity |
Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.02 sec. |
diffusing capacity the rate at which a gas diffuses across the alveolar-capillary membrane per unit difference in the partial pressure of the gas across the membrane, expressed in ml/min/mmHg. Because of their high affinity for hemoglobin both oxygen and carbon monoxide are limited in their rate of diffusion by their diffusing capacity. |
