Spirometry provides an objective measurement of lung function. It will measure the Expiratory Vital Capacity (EVC): The maximum volume of gas which can be expired from the lungs during a relaxed expiration from a position of full inspiration. It will also measure the Inspiratory Vital Capacity (IVC): The maximum volume of gas which can be
