Significance of FEV 1

FEV 1, or forced expiratory volume in one second, is a crucial measure of lung function in both Ayurveda and Health Sciences. It assesses the volume of air forcefully exhaled in one second. Reduced FEV 1 values can indicate respiratory issues like asthma. Monitoring FEV 1 helps track disease progression and treatment effectiveness, such as improvements seen with asthma treatments or during the course of a treatment plan. Spirometry readings are used to determine FEV 1.
