What Does FRC Stand For?
FRC stands for Functional Residual Capacity
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) refers to the volume of air remaining in the lungs after a normal expiration. It is a key parameter in pulmonary function assessment and plays a crucial role in evaluating respiratory health. FRC is determined by the balance between the lung's elastic recoil and the chest wall's outward pull, influencing gas exchange and overall lung function. Understanding FRC aids in diagnosing and managing various respiratory conditions.
