The volume of gas exhaled from the completely inflated lungs during a maximal expiratory effort.
The quantification of the respiratory capacity representing the amount of air a patient can forcefully expel from their lungs following a maximal inhalation. The assessment of forced vital capacity (FVC) involves instructing the individual to take the deepest breath achievable and subsequently exhale with utmost effort into a sensor, sustaining the exhalation for as long as feasibly achievable.
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) refers to the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled following a deep breath. It’s one of the metrics gauged during a lung function test, a procedure performed to identify different types of lung disorders.
