- Diagnostic.Caption
- Flow-Volume loop showing successful FVC maneuver. Positive values represent expiration, negative values represent inspiration. At the start of the test both flow and volume are equal to zero (representing the volume in the spirometer rather than the lung). The trace moves clockwise for expiration followed by inspiration. After the starting point the curve rapidly mounts to a peak (the peak expiratory flow). (Note the FEV1 value is arbitrary in this graph and just shown for illustrative purposes; these values must be calculated as part of the procedure).

La espirometría es la técnica de exploración de la función respiratoria que mide los flujos y los volúmenes respiratorios útiles para el diagnóstico y el seguimiento de patologías respiratorias. La gráfica que imprime el espirómetro representa en el eje vertical (las ordenadas) el volumen del flujo de aire (L/s) y en función del tiempo en el eje horizontal (las abscisas). El Día Mundial de la Espirometría se celebra el 14 de octubre.
