Basic Flashcards
1
Q
Name the lungs volumes.
A
IRV (inspiratory reserve volume): 3000 ml VT (tidal volume): 500 ml ERV (expiratory reserve volume): 1000 ml RV (residual volume): 1200ml IC (inspiratory capacity) = IRV + VT FRC (functional residual capacity) = ERV + RV VC (vital capacity) = IRV + VT + ERV TLC (total lung capacity).
2
Q
What is normal volume of IRV (inspiratory reserve volume)?
A
3000 ml
3
Q
What is normal volume of VT (tidal volume)?
A
500 ml
4
Q
What is normal volume of ERV (expiratory reserve volume)?
A
1000 ml
5
Q
What is normal volume of RV (residual volume)?
A
1200ml
6
Q
What is normal volume of IC (inspiratory capacity)?
A
= IRV + VT
Which is around 3500
7
Q
What is normal volume of FRC (functional residual capacity)?
A
= ERV + RV
1500+1200 = around 2700ml
8
Q
What is normal volume of VC (vital capacity)?
A
IRV + VT + ERV
3000 + 500 + 1500 - Around 5000ml
