      • Maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV), also referred to as maximal breathing capacity (MBC), is defined as the maximum minute volume of ventilation that the subject can maintain for 12 to 15 s. In the normal subject MVV is about 15 to 20 times the resting minute volume.

  2. Maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV), also referred to as maximal breathing capacity (MBC), is defined as the maximum minute volume of ventilation that the subject can maintain for 12 to 15 s. In the normal subject MVV is about 15 to 20 times the resting minute volume.

  3. Mar 1, 2004 · To measure FVC, the patient inhales maximally, then exhales as rapidly and as completely as possible. Normal lungs generally can empty more than 80 percent of their volume in six seconds or...

  4. The maximum voluntary ventilation refers to the maximum rate of pulmonary ventilation. This can be measured using a spirometer, but the period of maximal breathing is limited to 15 s because the individual can become alkalotic and he can fatigue.

  5. Sep 8, 2014 · The Maximum Voluntary Ventilation (MVV) test was initially described in 1933. It was the first pulmonary function test that involved inspiratory and expiratory air flow in a significant way and for this reason it helped to set the stage both conceptually and technically for the FEV1, the FEV1/FVC ratio and our present understanding of ...

  6. Jun 1, 2018 · The maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) is a measure of the patients ability to breathe in and out as deeply and rapidly as possible. It is included as part of routine spirometry by some, but not all, laboratories. A normal value is approximately 40 times the FEV 1, and the lower limit is about 30 times the FEV 1.

  7. Maximal voluntary ventilation is used in the assessment of the remaining pulmonary capacity at the end of exercise, the breathing reserve. As already discussed, this is the fraction of the capacity of the pulmonary system to increase minute ventilation at maximal exercise, with normal values ranging from 20% to 50%.

  8. The maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) is another measure of the neuromuscular and respiratory systems. The MVV is the total volume of air exhaled during 12 seconds of rapid, deep breathing, which can be compared with a predicted MVV defined as the forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) × 35 or 40.
