Preoperative Pulmonary Function Tests
Variable* |
Actual Measurement |
Expected or Normal Value Ranges |
FVC, mL | 980 | 3500–4000 |
%FVC | 36.9 | ≥80 |
FEV1, mL | 910 | 2300–2500 |
FEV1% | 90.5 | ≥70 |
FVC indicates forced vital capacity; %FVC, forced vital capacity as percentage of predicted; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 second; and FEV1%, forced expiratory volume in 1 second as percentage of forced vital capacity.
