    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirometry

    Spirometry (meaning the measuring of breath) is the most common of the pulmonary function tests (PFTs). It measures lung function, specifically the amount (volume) and/or speed (flow) of air that can be inhaled and exhaled.

    Deviation from guidelines can result in false-positive or false negative test results, even though only a small minority of pulmonary function laboratories followed published guidelines for spirometry, lung volumes and diffusing capacity in 2012. [19]

    It was developed in 2002 at the University of Nottingham by Dr. W.S. Lim et al. [1] In 2018 a new toolkit was presented on the basis of CURB-65. [5] The score is an acronym for each of the risk factors measured. Each risk factor scores one point, for a maximum score of 5: Confusion of new onset (defined as an AMTS of 8 or less)

    In 1960, the European Community for Coal and Steel (ECCS) first recommended guidelines for spirometry. [7] The organization then published predicted values for parameters such as spirometric indices, residual volume, total lung capacity, and functional residual capacity in 1971. [8]

  6. FEV1/FVC ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FEV1/FVC_ratio

    In obstructive lung disease, the FEV1 is reduced due to an obstruction of air escaping from the lungs. Thus, the FEV1/FVC ratio will be reduced. [4] More specifically, according to the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, the diagnosis of COPD is made when the FEV 1 /FVC ratio is less than 0.7 or [8] the FEV 1 is less than 75% of predicted; [9] however, other authoritative bodies have ...

    The post bronchodilator test (Post BD), also commonly referred to as a reversibility test, is a test that utilizes spirometry to assess possible reversibility of bronchoconstriction in diseases such as asthma.
