Ventilation

Question 0

Residual volume

Answer 0

Volume of air remaining in lungs following maximal expiration

Question 1

Tidal volume

Answer 1

Amount of air inhaled and exhaled during normal resting breathing

Question 2

Expiratory reserve volume

Answer 2

Volume of air that can be forcefully expelled following a normal expiration

Question 3

Inspiratory reserve volume

Answer 3

Volume of air that can be forcefully breathed in following a normal inspiration

Question 4

Forced vital capacity

Answer 4

Amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible

Question 5

Forced expiratory volume

Answer 5

Volume of air that can be forcefully expelled in 1 second following a full inspiration

Normally, at least 75% of FVC is exhaled within the first second

Question 6

Total lung capacity

Answer 6

Sum of residual volume & forced vital capacity

Question 7

Functional residual capacity

Answer 7

Volume of air remaining in lungs following normal expiration

Question 8

Vital capacity

Answer 8

The greatest volume of air that can be expelled from the lungs after taking the deepest possible breath

Question 9

Hyperventilation

Answer 9

Depletion of carbon dioxide (respiratory alkalosis)
Accompanied by- fall in blood pressure, vasoconstriction, syncope, anxiety, wrist cramping)

Immediate treatment: breathing into paper bag until CO2 content of blood returns to normal
