Part Description

LP72219-6   Vital capacity
Vital capacity (VC) is the largest volume a patient can exhale after a full inhalation, and forced vital capacity (FVC) is the largest volume a patient can exhale with maximum effort after a full inhalation. In people without lung disease, VC and FVC are essentially the same. However, in patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), FVC may be less than VC due to airway resistance, small airway collapse and gas trapping. The difference between VC and FVC is associated with degree of airflow limitation as well as exercise tolerance in patients with COPD. PMID: 24507622 Source: Regenstrief LOINC,
