28
Q

What is the average tidal volume for an adult?

A

500 mL (16 oz)

29
Q

1700 mL

30
Q

1700 mL

31
Q

Minute volume

A

The volume of air exchange in 1 minute

32
Q

Inspiratory Reserve Volume

A

The extra volume of air that can be inhaled after the tidal volume (sip in more air) - 3L

33
Q

Tidal Volume

A

The volume of air that we take in during inspiration (quiet breathing in and out) - 0.5 L

34
Q

Expiratory Reserve Volyme

A

The volume of air that can be expired following tidal expiration (exhale extra air) - 1L

35
Q

Residual Volume

A

The volume of air left over in the lungs after maximum expiration (we can’t access this air) - 1.2 L

36
Q

Dead Space Air

A

The volume of air that is in the spaces of the airway passages that do not contain alveoli (air in trachea and nasal cavities)

37
Q

Inspiratory Capactity

A

IC = TV + IRV (the maximum inspiratory volume possible after tidal expiration

38
Q

Vital Capacity

A

VC = IRV + TV + ERV (the volume of air that can be inhaled following maximum exhalation)

39
Q

Functional Residual Capacity

A

FRC= ERV + RV (the volume of air in the body at the end of passive exhalation - everything left over after tidal volume)

40
Q

Total Lung Capacity

A

TLC = IRV + TV + ERV + RV (the sum of inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume expiratory reserve volume, and residual volume– everything)

41
Q

What decreases with age?

A

Vital Capacity & lung complice/elacticity

42
Q

What stays the same with age?

A

Total lung capacity

43
Q

What increases with age?

A

Residual volume

44
Q

What are the 2 variables affecting breath support for speech?

A
  1. Posture/position & 2. muscle strength
45
Q

Effects of posture on the sitting postiton

A

Gravity assists breathing as it pulls the diaphragm down to help inspiration and pulls the rib cage down to help expiration

46
Q

Effects of posute in the supine position

A

Gravity harms breathing as it pulls the diaphragm toward the spine and up into the chest (smashes lungs down)

47
Q

How did SLP’s place patients during COVID-19?

A

Prone position

48
Q

Effects of muscles of inspiration with decreased function

A

Lungs do not inflate to the fullest capacity, total lung capacity is decreased, needs to work against gravity

49
Q

Effects of muscles of expiration with decreased function

A

Residual volume increases making less space in the lungs for inspiration, prone to respiratory distress and pneumonia

50
Q

What drives the movement of the vocal folds?

A

Subglottal pressure

51
Q

What is the driving pressure of conversational speech?

A

7 to 10 H20

52
Q

What creates syllable stress, pitch changes, and vocal intensity?

A

Small and fast bursts of subglottal pressure (pressure pushes emphasis on different sounds)

53
Q

What allows for controlled exhalation for sustaining speech production?

A

Control of the abdominal muscles

54
Q

% passive respiration

A

Inhalation = 40% & Expiration = 60%

55
Q

% respiration for speech

A

Inhalation = 10% & Expiration + 90%

56
Q

What is checking action?

A

When you impede the flow of air of your inflated lungs by the means of the muscles that got it there in the first place (the muscles of inspiration)- This helps maintain constant flow of air through the vocal tract and sustains breath for speech (a short burst of air = poor checking action)

57
Q

Hypoxia

A

An absence of enough oxygen in the tissues to sustain bodily functions

58
Q

Anoxia

A

More temporary absence of oxygen

59
Q

Is COPD chronic or acute?

60
Q

Is sinusitis chronic or acute?

61
Q

Is tonsillitis chronic or acute?

62
Q

Is asthma chronic or acute?

63
Q

Is lung cancer chronic or acute?

64
Q

Is laryngitis chronic or acute?

65
Q

Is pneumonia chronic or acute?

66
Q

Is sleep apnea chronic or acute?

67
Q

Tracheostomy

A

The hole that is made with the tube

68
Q

Tracheotomy

A

The procedure of putting in the tube

69
Q

What is a prime example of a patient with hypoxia?

A

A covid patient needed to get intubated to return back to having enough O2
