I read that one should consider using a ventilator when the FVC / FEC drop to 50% or lower. But what does it look like. How does the patient breathe when the FVC / FEC are this low. I'm asking because my dad has stopped going to the neurologist and doing all these tests. He says there's nothing beneficial from going there.
Also what are the normal FVC / FEC levels that a healthy person has? From what I understand, FVC is given as a percentage because it's a different value for everyone. So it should be 100% when healthy right?
Thank you for your time and help.
