Nitric oxide in the exhaled air
Abstract
Theoretical way of calculation of endogenous carbon dioxide in the exhaled air in the case of its generation by bronchial epithelium or diffusion through alveolus proposed in the present study. It has been shown that mechanism of diffusion output through alveolus more adequately explains experimental data. It is supposed that experimental calculation of endogenous carbon dioxide could be improved by above mentioned way of calculation, that is important for differential diagnosis of asthma and interstitial lung diseases.
