resp formative wk 2 Flashcards
max volume of air expired in a single breath following max inspiration
vital capacity
vol of air entering or leaving lungs in single breath
tidal volume
vital capacity + residual volume =
total lung capacity
vital capacity
max volume of air expired in a single breath following max inspiration
tidal volume
vol of air entering or leavin lungs in a single breath
atopic asthma
asthma w an allergic cause
intrinsic asthma
non-allergic asthma
environmental causes
increased pulmonary compliance, hyper inflated lungs and obstructive pattern on spirometry
emphysema
SOB on exertion, restrictive defect on spirometry, reduced pulmonary compliance, no infection
pulmonary fibrosis
Low FVC, Low FEV1, Low FEV1/FVC%
combined restrictive/obstructive disease
vol of air in lungs after maximal expiration
residual volume
inspiratory reserve volume + tidal volume + expiratory reserve volume
vital capacity
vol of air in lungs after normal expiration
functional residual capacity
residual volume
vol of air in lungs after maximal expiration
functional residual capacity
vol of air in lungs after normal expiration
