The BODE index will result in a score of zero to ten dependent upon FEV 1 or " forced expiratory volume in one second " ( the greatest volume of air that can be breathed out in the first second of a breath ), body-mass index, the distance walked in six minutes, and the modified MRC dyspnea scale.
12.
The most common parameters measured in spirometry are Vital capacity ( VC ), Forced vital capacity ( FVC ), Forced expiratory volume ( FEV ) at timed intervals of 0.5, 1.0 ( FEV1 ), 2.0, and 3.0 seconds, forced expiratory flow 25 75 % ( FEF 25 75 ) and maximal voluntary ventilation ( MVV ), also known as Maximum breathing capacity.
