Terms in this set (41)
Lower Limit of Normal (LLN) A statistical threshold accounting for age, sex, height, and ethnicity,
reducing over-diagnosis of obstruction.
Obstructive Pattern (Spirometry) Decreased FEV1 (<80% predicted) and decreased FEV1/FVC ratio (<70% or
below LLN).
Restrictive Pattern (Spirometry) Decreased FEV1 (<80%) with a normal or elevated FEV1/FVC ratio (>70%).

Gold Standard Confirmation for Restriction Total Lung Capacity (TLC) < 80% of predicted.
Spirometer Calibration Syringe Standard A 3-liter syringe with an acceptable accuracy range of ±3.5% (2.895 to
3.105 L).
ATPS to BTPS Conversion Effect Adjusts ambient measurements to body conditions, which always increases
the reported volume.
ATS-ERS Reversibility Criteria An increase in FEV1 or FVC by ≥12% and ≥200 mL after bronchodilator use.
Small Airways Disease (SAD) Indicator FEF25-75% below LLN with normal FEV1 and FEV1/FVC.
Normal Age-Related FVC/FEV1 Decline An average decrease of approximately 25-35 mL per year.

Clinically Significant Yearly Decline in FVC/FEV1 A yearly decrease greater than 15%.
Obstructive Flow-Volume Loop Shape A scooped-out or concave expiratory limb with reduced flow.
Restrictive Flow-Volume Loop Shape A narrow, peaked loop with preserved flow but reduced overall volume.
