Lab 3 Flashcards
What are factors that impact lung capacity?
- Ages
- Gender
- Height
Tidal volume (TV)
volume of air expired or inspired during quite breathing
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
volume of air that can forced in after tidal volume
Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
volume of air that can be forced out after tidal volume
Residual Lung Volume (RVL)
volume of air left in the lungs after maximum expiration
What is Vital Capacity (VC) and how do you calculate it?
maximum volume of air that can be forcefully exhaled after maximum inhalation
- VC= TV+IRV+ERV
Total Lung capacity
the volume of gas in the lungs after a maximum inspiration
- TLC=TV+IRV+ERV+RLV
What is the difference in the Collins Spirometry graph and the Handheld Spirometry?
Collins = IRV is downward and ERV is upward
Handheld= IRV upward and ERV is downward
What is measured and calculated in Spirometry
- FVC
- FEV 1.0
- FEV 1.0/ FVC ratio
FVC?
Forced Vital Capacity
FEV 1.0?
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second
- Indicates how fast air can be expired from your lungs in one second
if or FEV 1.0/FVC percentage is greater than 70% what does that indicate?
Normal Lung Capacity
What happens to Fev 1.0 valve and ore ration during an obstructive Pulmonary Dysfunction?
FEV 1.0 will be lower than normal and FVC will be normal and or the ratio will be lower than 70 percent
REstrictivve Pulmonary Dysfunction
Both FVC and FEV 1.0 values will be lower than normal and ratio will be greater the 70%
