TL;DR
The solubility of acetylene in lung tissue is measured by a rebreathing technique and enough acetylene is dissolved in the lung tissue to simulate an extra gaseous lung volume between 0.274–0.48 liters, which should give an error of 7–12 % in cardiac output determination with the acetylene rebreather method.
