Maximum amount of air that can be moved into and out of lungs over a single breath.
The amount of air in a full breath.
the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after a maximum inhalation (usually tested with a spirometer); used to determine the condition of lung tissue
Vital capacity (VC) is the maximum amount of air that a person can expel from the lungs after first filling the lungs to their maximum extent; it is equivalent to the inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) plus the tidal volume (TV) plus the expiratory reserve volume (ERV). (VC = IRV + TV + ERV)
The maximum volume of air which can be exhaled or inspired during either a forced (FVC) or a slow (VC) manoeuvre.
Maximum volume of gas that can be exhaled from the lung after maximum inhalation.1
The total volume of air that can be exhaled following a maximal inhalation.
A pulmonary function test that measures the maximum volume of air expired from the point of maximum inspiration.
The measure of air in a full breath. It is an important consideration for people with high-level tetraplegia who also have impaired pulmonary function.
maximal breathing capacity; the amount of air that can be expired after a maximum inspiration.Wheezing: the high-pitched whistling sound of air entering or leaving narrowed airways.
Maximum amount of air we breath out after we breath in deeply.
the maximum volume of air that can be exhaled following a complete lung inflation. The difference between Total Lung Capacity (TLC) and Residual Volume (RV).
Highest amount of air exhaled.
The maximum volume that can be exhaled in a single breath (TLC-RC).
Vital capacity is the maximum volume of air that a person can exhale after maximum inhalation.
