Question 1

What is a FEV1 Spirometry Calculator?

Accepted Answer

FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second) is the volume of air expelled in the first second of a forced breath out. FEV1/FVC ratio (Tiffeneau index) < 0.70 is diagnostic of obstructive lung disease. FEV1 < 80% predicted indicates airflow limitation.

Question 2

How does the FEV1 Spirometry Calculator work?

Accepted Answer

FEV1/FVC < 0.70 → obstruction (COPD, asthma) Then: FEV1 ≥ 80% predicted = normal Then: FEV1 70–79% = mild obstruction Then: FEV1 50–69% = moderate · FEV1 < 50% = severe.

Question 3

Can you give an example of how to use the FEV1 Spirometry Calculator?

Accepted Answer

Example: Input FEV1=2.5L · FVC=3.2L · predicted FEV1=3.5L gives a result of FEV1/FVC=0.78 → obstruction · 71% of predicted → moderate (Both ratio and % predicted needed for staging).

Question 4

Is the FEV1 Spirometry Calculator free to use?
