The Annals of the American Thoracic Society is a peer-reviewed medical journal that publishes clinical trials and original scientific research related to adult and pediatric pulmonary and respiratory sleep medicine, as well as adult critical care medicine, that is applicable to clinical practice, the formative and continuing education of clinical specialists, and the advancement of public health.
The most common parameters measured in spirometry are vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume (FEV) at timed intervals of 0.5, 1.0 (FEV1), 2.0, and 3.0 seconds, forced expiratory flow 25–75% (FEF 25–75) and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV), [10] also known as Maximum breathing capacity.

D LCO or T LCO (diffusing capacity or transfer factor of the lung for carbon monoxide (CO), [1]) is the extent to which oxygen passes from the air sacs of the lungs into the blood. Commonly, it refers to the test used to determine this parameter. It was introduced in 1909. [2]
How to follow the 10-3-2-1-0 sleep rule 10 hours before bed: No more caffeine. While there’s some variation in the genetics of how different people process caffeine, 10 hours is a reasonable gap ...
Repeatability of the PFT is determined by comparing the values of forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume at 1 second (FEV1). The difference between the highest values of two FVCs need to be within 5% or 150 mL. When the FVC is less than 1.0 L, the difference between the highest two values must be within 100 mL.
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 ]
Health officials in California are alerting consumers of a voluntary recall of a batch of cream top, whole milk that was produced by Raw Farms, LLC, in Fresno County after bird flu was detected in ...
You will wait about 15 minutes and then the spirometry is repeated. [3] An increase in FEV1 (or forced expiratory volume in the first second of a forced exhalation) of >200ml is considered a positive result.
