Tidal Volume
the amount of air inhaled or exhaled with each breath under resting conditions -500mL
Inspiratory reserve volume
the amount of air that can be forcefully inhaled after a normal tidal volume inhalation -3100mL
Expiratory reserve volume
the amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal tidal volume exhalation - 1200mL
Residual volume
the volume of air remaining in the lungs after maximum forceful expiration -1200
Inspiratory Capacity
the maximal volume of air that can be inspired after reaching the end of a normal, quiet expiration. IC = TV +IRV
Restrictive pulmonary disease
the person’s ability to inflate and deflate the lungs is reduced, and as a result, lung volumes and capacities are below normal
Obstructive pulmonary diseases
resistance to airflow into and out of the lungs.
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
shortness of breath and chronic restriction of airflow from the lungs
Functional residual capacity
the volume remaining in the lungs after a normal passive exhalation. FRC - ERV + RV
Vital capacity
the maximum exchangeable air in the lungs; the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after a maximal inspiration. VC = TV + IRV + ERV
Total lung capacity
the volume of air in the lungs upon the maximum effort of inspiration. TLC = RV + ERV + TV + IRV
Respiratory minute volume equation
Tital volume x Respirations per minute
FEV
Percentage of vital capacity
normal averages
FEV 1- 77-83%
FEV 2- 75-94%
FEV 3 - 78-97%
What is the relationship between intrapulmonary pressure and intrapleural pressure
when airflow increases, intrapulmonary pressure goes down while intrapleural pressure goes up and vice versa.
What part of the airway is most affected by asthma
bronchioles
Why is hyperventilating into a bag beneficial?
Because you are taking back CO2 into the lungs, it balances the blood pH and helps calm you down due to you actually having too much oxygen.
During an asthma attack, what must one do to maintain normal airflow during inhalation and exhalation?
Their intrapulmonary pressure must decrease to allow more airflow into the lungs
Albuterol is useful for those with asthma because it helps to
disrupt the vasoconstriction of the smooth muscle of the bronchioles and allow more airflow.
