The diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide (D L,CO ) and its value normalized to alveolar volume (D L,CO /V A ) are usually estimated with the single breath method at total lung capacity (TLC). Severely ill patients and small children are not able to deliver a satisfactory vital capacity (VC) or hold
