In real time we will measure

The standard spirometry test is carried out in 4 stages:

Phases of a spirometry test:

A curve is obtained that represents the flow and volume variation during phases 2 and 3 of the test.

PEF - (Peak Expiratory Flow) Maximum value of expiratory flow measured during a forced expiratory test
FEV1 - (Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second) Volume of air exhaled in the first 1 second
FVC - (Forced Vital Capacity) Maximum volume of air that can be exhaled with force and maximum velocity after maximum inspiration
FEV6 - (Forced Expiratory Volume in 6 seconds) Volume of air exhaled in the first 6 seconds
