The action of the lungs is primarily measured by pulmonary function tests, which assess various aspects of lung capacity and airflow. Key measurements include forced vital capacity (FVC), which evaluates the total amount of air exhaled after a deep breath, and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), which measures how much air can be forcibly exhaled in the first second. These tests help diagnose respiratory conditions and monitor lung health. Additionally, arterial blood gases (ABG) can measure oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood, providing insights into lung function.
