Al Sultan Abdullah UiTM Hospital, Puncak Alam, Selangor, Malaysia

The diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) is an essential diagnostic tool in respiratory medicine. This workshop aims to deepen participants' understanding of the physiological principles behind DLCO, its indications and contraindications, and provide detailed procedural guidance. Practical tips will be offered to avoid common pitfalls and ensure accurate interpretation of results. By the end of the workshop, attendees will be well-equipped to utilize DLCO testing effectively in their clinical practice, improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
