Scope note: Determinación de la máxima cantidad de aire que puede expulsarse en un número determinado de segundos durante la medida de la CAPACIDAD VITAL FORZADA. Suele expresarse mediante las siglas VEM seguidas de un subíndice que indica el número de segundos que ha durado la medición, si bien en ocasiones se expresa como porcentaje de la capacidad vital forzada.
