What Is Normal Pft

Normal findings of spirometry are FEV/FVC ratio of greater than 0.70 and both FEV and FVC above 80% of predicted value. If lung volumes are performed, TLC above 80% of predictive value is normal. Diffusion capacity above 75% of predicted value is considered normal as well.

How much lung capacity is normal?

Among healthy adults, the average lung capacity is about 6 liters. Age, gender, body composition, and ethnicity are factors affecting the different ranges of lung capacity among individuals.
