French term or phrase: VC
Examen clinique à l'admission:
[...]
- Poumons: SpO2 98% VC FiO2 90% VT 350 fréquence respiratoire 32 PEEP 10.

As far as I understand:
SpO2 [peripheral capillary oxygen saturation] = 98%
FiO2 [fraction of inspired oxygen] = 90%
VT [tidal volume] = 350

But is anyone able to help with the meaning of "VC" here please?

Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.

Sorry, I forgot the 'pulmonary': Pulmonary capillary blood volume

Example sentence(s):
  • The increase in DLCO with exercise is due to increased capillary blood volume (Vc) and membrane diffusing capacity (Dm)
