Usage Examples English
  • The propulsive power is limited by the strength of the user's respiratory muscles and the vital capacity of their lungs.
  • Vital capacity (VC) is the maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after a maximum inhalation.
  • In neuromuscular disease, a breathing measurement known as the vital capacity is used to determine a need for breathing support.
  • On spirometry, as a restrictive lung disease, both the FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 second) and FVC (forced vital capacity) are reduced so the FEV1/FVC ratio is normal or even increased in contrast to obstructive lung disease where this ratio is reduced.
  • Late onset features include impaired cough, recurrent chest infections, hypotonia, progressive muscle weakness, delayed motor milestones, difficulty swallowing or chewing and reduced vital capacity.

  • The basic forced volume vital capacity (FVC) test varies slightly depending on the equipment used, either closed circuit or open circuit, but should follow the ATS/ERS Standardisation of Spirometry.
  • Notably, spirometers have been used to evaluate vital capacity in India since 1929, recording a statistically significant difference between males (21.8 mL/cm) and females (18 mL/cm).
  • Pulmonic articulations are restricted by the volume of air able to be exhaled in a given respiratory cycle, known as the vital capacity.
  • The "tidal volume", "vital capacity", "inspiratory capacity" and "expiratory reserve volume" can be measured directly with a spirometer.
  • The instances where pulmonary vital capacity is reduced have typically been a result of use of the right phrenic as the donor for the neurotization whereas use of left phrenic nerve has not been significantly linked to reduced pulmonary vital capacity.
