Infrared sensitive indicator-dilution tracer concentration, specifically, 1,2 propanediol, can be optically measured in blood drawn from the systemic arterial system to indicate lung vascular function and transcapillary transport, i.e. pulmonary blood flow, extravascular lung water, transcapillary permeability-surface area, fluid filtration coefficients, etc. that may be helpful in diagnosing lung diseases, particularly Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
