Document Summary
Spirometry refers to the measurement of lung volumes and lung capacities. Total lung capacity (tlc) the amount of air in lungs after a maximum inhalation (tlc = Vital capacity (vc) is the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after a maximum inhalation (vc = irv + erv + vt) Inspiratory capacity (ic) is the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal (unforced) exhalation (ic = vt + irv) Expiratory capacity (ec) is the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after a normal inhalation (ec = vt +erv) Tidal volume (vt) is the volume of air inspired or expired during each normal ventilation cycle. Inspiratory reserve volume (irv) is the maximum amount of air that can be forcefully inhaled after a normal inhalation. Expiratory reserve volume (erv) is the maximum amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal exhalation.
