PulmonaryFunctionTestData
A group of tests that measure how well the lungs take in and release air, and how well they move gases from the atmosphere into the body's circulation. More...

PatientAssessment | |
ExpiratoryReserveVolume | |
Difference between the amount of air in the lungs after a normal exhale and the amount after an exhale with force. | |
ForcedVitalCapacity | |
The amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest possible breath. | |
ForcedExpiratoryVolume | |
The amount of air which can be exhaled with force in one breath. | |
ForcedExpiratoryFlow | |
Measures air flow halfway through an exhale. | |
FunctionalResidualCapacity | |
The volume of air in the lungs at the end of a normal exhaled breath. | |
InspiratoryCapacity | |
The difference between the maximum lung capacity and the volume at the end of a normal tidal volume exhalation. | |
InspiratoryReserveVolume | |
The difference between the maximum lung volume and the volume at the end of a normal inhalation. | |
MaximumVoluntaryVentilation | |
The amount of air that can be breathed in and out during 1 minute. | |
PeakExpiratoryFlow | |
Air flow during forced exhale of the deepest possible breath. | |
