Q

Archimede’s Principle

A

an obj buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the water displaced, an object displaces its own volume in water

Q

First trial/ one trial consists of the subject forcefully exhaling as much air from lungs as possible, pulling what to do what

A

head to knees to fully submerse the entire body, and remaining still until a signal is received to return to the surface

Q

Who issues signal and when?

A

The signal is issued by the technician performing the test when the total mass of the system has been determined to the nearest 50 grams using Chatillon autopsy scale.

Q

What happens if there are fluctuations in the scale?

A

If fluctuations in the scale due to movement of the subject are encoutered, the midpt of the range of values observed is recored as the total mass in the water

16
Q

Body mass in water is expressed in?

A

grams

17
Q

The vital capacity (VC) is measured to the nearest

A

50 mL

18
Q

How is the subject positioned for Residual Lung volume (RV) test?

A

The subj is seated in a position similar to that assumed under the water.

19
Q

AIrflow through nose is prevent by

A

having the subj wearing a noseclip

20
Q

One trial of RV consists of the subject

A

inhaling maximally, placing the mouthpiece of the spirometer into the mouth, sealing the lips around the mouthpiece, and forcefully exhaling all air from the lungs

21
Q

How many trials?

A

3 to 5 trials are performed depending on the consistency of the measurements

22
Q

What is used from RV test to get VC?

A

The mean of the highest 2 volumes is used as VC

23
Q

RV is estimated by assuming it to be a

A

constant proportion of the measured vital capacity, and poprotions based on data from Wilmore, 1969.

24
Q

RV is expressed in

A

mL

25
Q

Male RVbtps=

A

(0.24xVCatps)10001.063

26
Q

Female RVbtps =
