complaints as reported by the patient
SYMPTOM
t or f symptom is objective
f, subjective
findings by the medical professional
sign
t or f sign is subjective
f. objective
Amount of air a person is able to inhale and
exhale at rest
● Tidal Volume (TV)
Amount of air a person can maximally inspire at the
end of a normal inspiration
● Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
Amount of air a person exhale some more maximally
at the end of a normal expiration
● Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
IRV + TV + ERV
● Vital Capacity (VC)
Amount of air that can come in and could get out of
a person’s lungs
● Vital Capacity (VC)
Air that always stays in the lungs at the end of the
expiratory reserve volume (residual)
● Residual Volume
○ VC + RV
Total Lung Capacity
IRV + TV + ERV + RV
Total Lung Capacity
