	Vital capacity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vital capacity is the total amount of air that a person can expire after a complete inspiration.
		A very important tool in determining if a patient has obstructive or restrictive lung disease is the Percent of gas that is expired in the first second of a Forced Expiratory Capacity.
		Obstructive lung disease can be determined by dividing the Forced Vital Capacity in one second (FEV1) by the Forced Vital Capacity (FVC).

	BIOMEDICAL RESULTS FROM SKYLAB - Pulmonary Function Evaluation During and Following Skylab (Sec.5,Ch.37)
		Vital capacity, the only parameter measured preflight, in-flight, and postflight, showed in-flight decreases approaching 10 percent in the case of the Skylab 3 Pilot and for the Commander, Scientist Pilot, and Pilot on Skylab 4 (table 37-III and figure 37-2).
		Vital capacities were measured during Skylab Medical Experiments Altitude Test (SMEAT)(ref. 5), a ground-based 56-day simulated Skylab mission in which the environment was comparable to Skylab with the important exception of the presence of Earth’s gravity.
		However, the proportion of vital capacity decreases directly attributable to other factors such as body fluid shifts and a cephalad shift of the diaphragm cannot be determined from the present data.

		Vital capacity (VC) is the volume change that occurs between maximal inspiration and maximal expiration.
		Functional residual capacity is the volume of air in the lung at the average tidal volume end-expiratory level.
		The vital capacity should be measured as close as possible in time to the functional residual capacity determination.

		In 1980, it was reported that the vital capacity was a powerful prognostic indicator in the Framingham study of 5,209 men over the age of 30.
		Since the vital capacity predicts cardiovascular as well as non-cardiovascular mortality, this pulmonary function measurement seems truly a measure of living capacity useful for insurance and underwriting purposes.@ (Kannel W.B., et al.
		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?

	Human Body Lessons: Lung Capacity
		Tell the students they will be finding out what the capacity of their lungs is. Decide which method you want them to use and then model the procedure before having the students do it.
		To test vital capacity have the students take a deep breath and then exhale all of the air into the balloon.
		Vital capacity is the largest amount of air that can be exhaled after taking a deep breath.

	Measuring tidal volume and vital capacity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled and exhaled in a single breath.
		Apparatus: The tidal volume and vital capacity will be measured by displacing water from the jar or beaker.
		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.

	Measuring Lung Capacity
		In this activity, you will be measuring the vital capacity and the tidal volume of your own lungs, this actual number can then be compared with a number derived from an equation that measures vital 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.

	Lung function testing - FVC - forced expiratory vital capacity
		The volume change of the lung between a full inspiration to total lung capacity and a maximal expiration to residual volume.
		The volume assessed is the forced expiratory vital capacity (FEVC), commonly called forced vital capacity (FVC).
		The maneuver is almost invariably performed in conjunction with the assessment of the FEV1 and of maximum expiratory flow-volume curves.

		In contrast to the forced maximal capacity the expiration is not performed as quickly as possible but as completely as possible.
		The VC is the total lung capacity minus the residual volume.
