Q

What is the value of TV?

A

350-400 ml

17
Q

What is minute ventilation?

A

TV x RR

18
Q

What is FEV1?

A

Functional expiratory volume for 1 second - amount of air as a % of VC that can be expired in 1 second

19
Q

What is the value of VEF1?

A

75-80%

20
Q

What is VD?

A

Anatomical dead space: air that must move through the conducting respiratory zone with each breath

21
Q

What is the value of VD?

A

150 ml

22
Q

What happens to residual volume with OLD?

A

Increases

23
Q

What will eventually erode the functional lung volumes?

A

Loss of lung tissue recoil and increased compliance

24
Q

What are the first effects seen in lung volume changes with OLD?

A

Decreases in FEV1, <75% is considered OLD

25
Q

What energy changes happen with OLD?

A

Increased energy usage because energy is also required to exhale

26
Q

What does increased energy demands in OLD lead to?

A

Hypertrophy of accessory muscles as pt attempts to normalize their lung volumes

27
Q

What happens to lung volumes with restrictive disorders?

A

Decreases in all lung volumes, increased work load trying to expand the lungs
