Chapter 2 (Part 2) Flashcards
Lung volumes are categorized as
Tidal volume
Inspiratory Reserve Volume
Expiratory Reserve Volume
Residual Volume
Lung capacity is evaluated in terms of
Vital Capacity
Inspiratory Capacity
Functional Residual Capacity
Total Lung Capacity
The volume of air inhaled and exhaled with each breath
Tidal volume
Normal value of TV/VT
500 mL or 5-10 mL/kg
The maximum volume of air that can be inhaled after a normal inhilation
Inspiratory Reserve Volume
Normal value of Inspiratory Reserve Volume
3000 mL
The maximum volume of air that can be exhaled forcibly after a normal exhalation
Expiratory reserve volume
Normal value of ERV
1100 mL
The volume of air remaining in the lungs after a maximum exhalation
Residual volume
Normal value of RV
1200 mL
Formula of VC
VC=TV+IRV+ERV
The maximum volume of air exhaled from the point of maximum inspiration
Vital capacity
Normal value of VC
4600 mL
The maximum volume of air inhaled after normal expiration
Inspiratory capacity
Formula of IC
IC=TV+IRV
