What Does ERV Stand For?
ERV stands for Expiratory Reserve Volume
Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) is the maximum amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after the end of a normal expiration. It represents an important measure of lung function and respiratory health, helping to assess conditions such as restrictive and obstructive pulmonary diseases. ERV is typically measured through pulmonary function tests and is a key component in evaluating overall respiratory capacity.
