Lung diffusing capacity for nitric oxide in space: microgravity gas density interactions
Introduction: During manned space exploration lung health is threatened by toxic planetary dust and radiation. Thus, tests such as lung diffusing capacity (DL) are likely be used in planetary habitats to monitor lung health. During a DL maneuver the rate of uptake of an inspired blood-soluble gas su...
