Spirometry Overview
Spirometry measures lung volumes and airflow to assess respiratory function.
FVC Measurement
Forced vital capacity reflects lung expansion ability.
FEV1 Measurement
Forced expiratory volume in one second indicates airway obstruction.
FEV1 FVC Ratio
This ratio helps identify obstructive or restrictive patterns.
Spirometry Accuracy
