Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) - The maximum volume of air exhaled from end expiration.



Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) - Maximum volume of air inhaled from end inspiration



Residual Volume (RV) - The volume of air remaining in lungs after maximum exhalation.



Tidal Volume (VT or TV) - Volume of air inhaled or exhaled during each respiratory cycle



Functional Residual capacity (FRC) - Volume of air in the lungs at rest end expiration



Inspiratory Capacity (IC) - Maximum volume of air that can be inhaled from the resting expiratory level



Total Lung Capacity (TLC) - Volume of air in the lungs at maximum inflation



What is the formula for Total Lung Capacity - RV (residual vol.) + VC (volume capacity)



Vital Capacity (VC) - The maximum volume of air exhaled on complete exhaustion after full inspiration.



Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) - Total of air expelled as rapidly as possible (measurement over time)



1st second Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1) - The volume of air expelled in the first second of FVC (most
reproducible and reliable)



FEV1/FVC ratio - Percentage of maximum inspiration expired in 1 second



How do you determine reversibility - Performing a pre and post bronchodilator spirometry test is
conducted
