Medical (general)
Spirometry
Taken from a brief summary of Spirometry results
FVC-Med: 0.85; FVC-%: 68.2
then
FEV1-Med: 0.63
FEV1-%: 68.3
The FVC and FEV1 are obviously the same, but the Med?
My guess is it's either "media" or "medida". Any suggestions?
The medical report is from a Spanish hospital

Observed/measured FVC
George is correct, FVC is forced vital capacity. I think the "-Med" suffix is being used in the Spanish ST to designate the measured or observed FVC, as opposed to the predicted FVC, based on the patient's age, height, weight, ethnicity, & for some published studies, other factors such as smoking history.
So the patient's FVC-Med here is 0.85, for which the standard unit is litres. This is a very low value, basically off the charts low. "FVC-%" is normally the patient's measured FVC divided by the predicted FVC, times 100. For the case cited, the predicted FVC would be calculated to be about 1.25 litres; this is in the neighborhood of the range for a very elderly, slight individual - but just barely.

Note from asker:
Yep, but what I'm not sure about is the "med". As it has FVC-Med and FVC-% |
