Q

What is residual volume?

A

The amount of space that you will not be able to exhale

This is so that your alveoli dont collapse. .

Q

What are some helpful spirometric values?

A

Forced vital capacity
Forced expiratory volume in the first second

16
Q

How much of your air do you breath out in the first second?

A

80%, then it slowly declines

17
Q

damage in the large airways will reflect in a change in what part of the flow-volume curve?

A

The rapid incline of expiration up to the peak

18
Q

Damage in the small airways will reflect in a change in what part of the flow-volume curve?

A

The slower declined rate of expiration after the peak flow.

19
Q

How will the flow-volume curve look for obstructive disease?

A

It will look like an upside down comma
Total lung capacity will be increased, Forced vital capacity will increase, Rate of increased flow will be steeper, decline will also be steep, then will flatline at a slow flow.
flow will never be as high on inspiration/exhalation

20
Q

How will the flow-volume curve change in response to an upper airway obstruction?

A

The peak in flow on inspiration and exhalation will be cut off. plateaus in both.

21
Q

How will the flow-volume curve change in response to a restrictive lung disease?

A

It will be identicle, but smaller and shifted to the right

22
Q

What is normal FEV1/FVC value?

A

.8

23
Q

What is the FEV1/FVC value in obstructive lung disease?

A

Less than .7.
Both FEV1 and FVC decreased
FEV1 decreased more

24
Q

What is the FEV1/FVC value in restrictive lung disease?

A

greater than .8.

Both FEV1 and FVC are decreased but FVC is decreased more

25
Q

What is the definition for physiological dead space (VD)

A

total volume of the lungs that does not participate in gas exchange

26
Q

VD=Anatomical dead space+Functional dead space

What is anatomical dead space?

A

Volume of the conducting airways

27
Q

VD=Anatomical dead space+functional dead space

What is functional dead space?

A

Alveoli that do not participate in gas exchange

28
Q

What is Minute ventilation?

A

Total rate of air movement into and out of the lungs

Minute ventilation=Tidal Volume x Respiration rate

29
Q

What is alveolar ventilation?

A

The rate at which new air reaches the gas exchange areas of the lungs
Alveolar ventilation=Respiration rate x (Tidal volume-dead space)

30
Q

What does the alveolar ventilation equation describe?

A

It shows the Inverse relationship between alveolar ventilation and alveolar PCO2.
Alveolar ventilation=Rate of CO2 prod x constant/alveolar PCO2

31
Q

What cannot be measured by spirometry?

A

Residual volume, forced residual volume, and Total lung capacity
