Lung Function	FEV1 observed value		Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second: the volume of air that has been exhaled at the end of the first second of forced expiration
Lung Function	TLC observed value		Total Lung Capacity: the volume of air in the lungs at maximum inflation
Lung Function	VC observed value		Vital Capacity: the largest volume a patient can exhale after a full inhalation
Lung Function	FVC observed value		Forced Vital Capacity: the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out after full inspiration
Lung Function	RV observed value		Residual Volume: the amount of air remaining in the lungs after maximum exhalation
Lung Function	RV%TLC observed value		Residual Volume as percentage of the Total Lung Capacity
Lung Function	DLCO SB corrected for Hb + alveolar ventilation (KCO)		Diffusion Capacity: the carbon monoxide uptake from a single inspiration in a standard time (usually 10 sec)
Blood Gas Analysis	Capillary SaO2		Oxygen saturation in capillary blood
Blood Gas Analysis	Capillary pO2		Partial pressure of oxygen in capillary blood
