Normal values of forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume (FEV 1-0), and peak flow rate (PFR) in children. [PDF]
The normal values in children for the forced vital capacity (FVC), the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEVI.,), and the peak flow rate (PFR) have been determined in a group of 261 healthy schoolchildren. Charts which allow the ready determination of these values have been presented.
