At the end of the trial, the trial edit panel is shown. This panel is slightly different depending on the DLCO test performed
(single breath or intra breath), but the main features are the same for both tests.
The trial edit panel shows the parameters measured in the selected trial, and can be accessed at the end of the trial or
through the icon shown in the test edit panel above each trial.
The graph at the center shows the DLCO graph of the current trial. In the graph, vertical dotted lines show the limit of the
washout and sampling volumes. These limits are customizable by moving them through the mouse or by moving the
sliders shown below the graph.
If the checkbox ATS criteria (below the graph) is checked, these limits are not editable, since they are calculated starting
from the ATS criteria.
For the intra breath tests, the green bar for the exhalation flow is also shown.
On the right, four sections allows to change the default settings (as set in the DLCO settings):
1. Dead space allows to change the default dead spaces; the meaning of each field is explained in the DLCO settings
section.
2. Correction factors allows to change the default correction factors; the meaning of each field is explained in the DLCO
settings section.
3. Membrane diffusion allows to use this trial as one of the trials for the membrane diffusion test. In order to do that,
please check the Enabled checkbox and enter the O2 % of the gas used during this trial. The membrane diffusion
results will be shown in the test edit and results panels only if two or more trials are selected for this test.
4. Breath hold method (shown only in case of single breath test) allows to change the default breath hold method; the
meaning of each field is explained in the DLCO settings section.
