Spirometry is the most common of the pulmonary function tests. It measures lung function, specifically the amount and/or speed of air that can be inhaled and exhaled. Spirometry is helpful in assessing breathing patterns that identify conditions... Wikipedia
FEFmax: The maximum instantaneous flow achieved during a FVC maneuver
FEV1: Volume that has been exhaled at the end of the first second of forced expiration
FRC: Functional residual capacity: the volume in the lungs at the end-expiratory position
FVC: Forced vital capacity: the determination of the vital capacity from a maximally forced expiratory effort
IC: Inspiratory capacity: the sum of IRV and TV
IRV: Inspiratory reserve volume: the maximal volume that can be inhaled from the end-inspiratory level
