FEV1

[Incomudrox]

FEV1 is the amount of air you exhale in the first one second during a PFT. Some labs do not put it as a percent. They might have Liters. To get the percentage take the actual Liters divide it by the predicted liters to get the percent.
<br>
<br>So as an example this is not my FEV1 but.. here goes
<br>
<br>(1.74 (Actual Liters) divided by 3.89 (predicted Liters)) times 100 = 44.7300771 your FEV1 would be 44.7%<br><br>Someone already said it, I should learn to read but i'll leave it anyways..<br>
