device_only_smlWhat lung function tests are performed?

  • Vital capacity (VC): the volume change of the lung between a full inspiration and a maximal expiration
  • Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1):  The FEV1 is the volume exhaled during the first second of a forced expiratory maneuver started from the level of total lung capacity
  • Forced expiratory vital capacity (FVC): The volume change of the lung between a full inspiration to total lung capacity and a maximal expiration to residual volume. The measurement is performed during forceful exhalation
  • Peak expiratory flow (PEF): The maximum flow generated during expiration performed with maximal force and started after a full inspiration
