The utility of spirometry and single breath gas transfer measurements to identify low total lung capacity
A FVC in the healthy range is an effective tool for ruling out restriction. Low <i>V</i> <sub>A</sub> can be used to accurately identify those with a low TLC, negating the need for formal measurement of static lung volumes when identifying restrictive lung disease.
