Lung Volumes/Capacities and Pulmonary Function Tests Flashcards
What is the volume of air that occupies the non-respiratory conducting airways?
Anatomic Dead Space
What is the maximal volume of air that can be exhaled after a normal tidal exhalation?
What percent of total lung volume?
Expiratory Reserve Volume
15% of total lung volume
What is the maximal volume of air exhaled in a specified period of time (1st, 2nd, 3rd second)?
Force Expiratory Volume
What is the volume of air expired during a forced maximal expiration after a force maximal inspiration?
Forced Vital Capacity
FVC = TV + IRV + ERV
What is teh volume o fair in the lungs after normal exhalation?
What percent of total lung volume?
Functional Residual Capacity
40% of total lung volume
What is the maximal amount of air that can be inspired after normal tidal volume inspiration?
What percent of lung volume?
Inspiratory Capacity (IC)
IC = TV + IRV
60% of total lung volume
What is the maximal volume of air that can be inspired after a normal tidal volume inspiration?
Total lung volume percent?
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
50% of total lung volume
What is the volume of air expired in one minute and how is calculated?
Minute Ventilation Volume
VE = TV x RR(respiratory rate)
What is the maximum flow of air during the beginning of a forced expiratory manuever?
Peak Expiratory flow
What is the volume of gas remaining in the lungs at the end of a maximal expiration?
What percent of total lung volume?
Residual Volume
25% of total lung volume
What is the total volume inspired and expired each breath during normal quiet breathing
what percent of lung volume?
tidal volume
10% of total lung volume
What is the volume of air in lungs after a maximal inspiration?
total lung volume
100%
What is the volume change that occurs between max inspiration and max expiration?
What percent of total lung volume?
Vital Capacity
75% of total lung volume
What percent of total lung volume is?

how is functional residual capacity calculated?
FRC = ERV + RV
