| | Lung function testing - VC - vital capacity |
 | | The vital capacity is assessed during an inspiratory maneuver. | | | The vital capacity is assessed during an expiratory maneuver. | | | In healthy subjects the vital capacities measured according to these different procedures are nearly the same. |

| | BIOMEDICAL RESULTS FROM SKYLAB - Pulmonary Function Evaluation During and Following Skylab (Sec.5,Ch.37) |
| | In summary, the vital capacity changes observed in-flight may be partially explained as a response to 34.5 kPa (5 psia) ambient pressure. | | | Further in-flight comprehensive pulmonary function testing will be necessary during future manned missions in order to substantiate observed decreases in vital capacity and increase our knowledge concerning the physiological effects of the weightless state upon the human body. | | | Maximum midexpiratory flow rate (between 25 percent and 75 percent of the forced vital capacity) values for the Pilot are the highest recorded in our laboratory for any individual. |

| | Measuring Lung Capacity |
| | Research has shown that the capacity of a person's lungs is proportional to the surface area of his or her body. | | | This person's vital capacity was measured over a 60 day period. | | | What happened to the person's vital capacity over the course of the training period? |

| | If the vital capacity is so important in clinical medicine, why don=t all physicians have a spirometer in their offices, just as they have a sphygmomanometer, an EKG machine, a clinical thermometer, and a tape measure? | | | "If the vital capacity is so important in clinical medicine, why don't all physicians have a spirometer in their offices, just as they have a sphygmomanometer, an EKG machine, a clinical thermometer..." | | | He coined the term, vital capacity, i.e., the capacity for life. |

| | Settings: Pulmonary function laboratories Cardiopulmonary laboratories Clinics and physicians' offices Patient care areas Study and field settings Limitations of Methodology/Validation of Results: Patient-related limitations: Slow vital capacity is effort-dependent and requires understanding and motivation on the subject's part. | | | Certain pathologic conditions in the subject can cause a leak in a lung-volume-measurement system (e.g., perforated eardrum, tracheostomy, transtracheal catheter, chest tube). | | | CONTRAINDICATIONS CONTRAINDICATIONS No apparent absolute contraindications exist; the relative contraindications for spirometry are appropriate and include the following: Hemoptysis of unknown origin; Untreated pneumothorax; Pneumothorax treated with a chest tube because the chest tube may introduce leaks and interfere with gas-dilution measurements; Unstable cardiovascular status; and Thoracic and abdominal or cerebral aneurysms. |

| | Vital capacity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Obstructive lung disease can be determined by dividing the Forced Vital Capacity in one second (FEV1) by the Forced Vital Capacity (FVC). | | | It the value is found to be greater than 75% then the patient is said to have Restrictive Lung Disease. | | | If the value found is less than 75%, then the patient is known to have Obstructive Lung Disease. |

| | Measuring tidal volume and vital capacity |
| | Both of these measurements are used to help determine the effectiveness of a person's gas exchange system on a macroscopic level (see Day 4 in lesson plans). | | | For measuring tidal volume, this should be a normal breath; for measuring vital capacity, this should be a normal exhalation followed by forcing as much air as possible from the lungs. | | | Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled and exhaled in a single breath. |

| | vital capacity : Definition |
| | Vital capacity (VC) is the maximum amount of air that a person can expel from the lungs after first filling the lungs to their maximum extent; it is equivalent to the inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) plus the tidal volume (TV) plus the expiratory reserve volume (ERV). | | | Search for vital capacity in these other databases too |
