Descriptions
Spirometry (meaning the measuring of breath) is the most common of the Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs), measuring lung function, specifically the measurement of the amount (volume) and/or speed (flow) of air that can be inhaled and exhaled. Spirometry is an important tool used for assessing conditions such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, and COPD. Spirometric maneuvers include slow vital capacity (SVC), forced vital capacity (FVC), tidal volume (TV) and maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV). The measurement of forced vital capacity is the most commonly performed maneuver, sometimes in conjunction with slow vital capacity andor tidal volume. A plethysmograph can be used to measure functional residual capacity (FRC). Results are usually given in both raw data (liters, liters per second) and percent predicted - the test result as a percent of the predicted values for the patients of similar characteristics (height, age, sex, and sometimes race and weight).
