What is fev1 and fvc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lung tests: Fev1 -- forced expiratory volume in one second; what percent of the air in your lungs you can force out during the first second, compared with how much you can force out altogether. Fvc -- forced vital capacity. The total amount of air you can blow out of your lungs with one exhalation.
