Block 3 Resp Flashcards
The volume of air inhaled or exhaled with each normal breath
Tidal Volume (TV)
the volume of air that can be inhaled at the end of a normal tidal inspiration
Inspiratory Reserve volume (IRV)
the volume of air within the lungs that can be exhaled after the end of a tidal exhalation
Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
the air remaining in the lungs after a maximal expiration (cannot be measured on spirometry and cannot be expelled)
Resdiual volume (RV)
The total volume of air remaining in the lungs at the end of a tidal exhalation
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC)- cannot be measured by spirometry
the volume of air in the lungs at the end of a maximal inspiration
Total Lung Capacity (TLC) - cannot be measured by spirometry
the volume of air exhaled from maximal inspiration to maximal exhalation; maximum expiration, when done with force this volume is termed…
Vital capacity (VC) Force Vital capacity (FVC)
the volume of air exhaled in the first second of a FVC test
forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)
Obstructive Disorder
Expiratory flow rate is decreased, decrease FEV1 & FVC
FEV1/FVC ratio is low
Restrictive disorder
Lung inflation is decreased resulting in decreased FEV1 & FVC
FEV1/ FVC ratio is normal or increased
The Max amount of O2 that can be bound to hemoglobin
Oxygen Carrying Capacity
Ratio of quantity of O2 actually bound to the quantity of O2 that can be potentially bound. 98%
Oxygen saturation
Amount of O2 actually bound to hemoglobin + dissolved O2
Oxygen Content
Anemia
defined as a decreased the RBC mass
Once O2 is bound to Hb it becomes easier for the next O2 to bind
Cooperative Binding
Blood arriving at the lungs with O2 sat of 75%
Association (loading)
Blood arrives at tissue where O2 is needed
Dissociation (unloading)- steep curve
