Study Notes
Pulmonary Volumes and Capacities
- Tidal Volume (TV): Volume of air inhaled and exhaled with each normal breath, approximately 500 mL.
- Minute Volume: Volume of air inhaled and exhaled in one minute, calculated by multiplying TV by respiratory rate (about 8L).
- Alveolar Volume: Difference between TV and dead space volume (about 350 mL).
- Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV): Extra volume of air that can be inhaled beyond normal tidal volume (about 3000 mL). It's a measure of pulmonary compliance and inspiratory muscle strength. Reduced IRV suggests reduced lung compliance or weakened inspiratory muscles.
- Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV): Volume of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal tidal inhalation (about 1100 mL). Increased ERV indicates improved expiratory muscle strength; decreased ERV suggests weaker muscles, airway obstruction, or restrictive disorders.
- Residual Volume (RV): Volume of air remaining in the lungs after the most forceful exhalation (about 1200 mL). Increased RV can be an indicator of aging or reduced ventilation effectiveness.
- Forced Expiratory Flow (FEF) / Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF): Airflow rate during forced expiration. Reductions greater than 25% of PEFR are suggestive of obstructive respiratory disorders.
- Forced Expiratory Volume 1 (FEV1): Maximum volume of air that can be forcefully exhaled in the first second after maximal inhalation (normally 80% of average). This is a sensitive measure for obstructive airway disorders.
- Diffusing Capacity of the Lung for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO): Measures how well gas moves from the alveoli into the blood. Lower DLCO values suggest alveolar problems like emphysema, pneumonia, or pulmonary edema.
Pulmonary Capacities
- Inspiratory Capacity (IC): Volume of air that can be inspired from rest to the maximum possible level, equal to 3500 mL (Tidal Volume + Inspiratory Reserve Volume). Reduced IC suggests restrictive lung disease.
- Functional Residual Capacity (FRC): Volume of air remaining in the lungs at the end of a normal tidal breath, equal to 2300mL (Expiratory Reserve Volume + Residual Volume). Increases suggest obstructive lung diseases.
- Vital Capacity (VC): Maximum volume of air that can be expelled from the lungs after maximum inhalation, equal to 4600 mL (Inspiratory Reserve Volume + Tidal Volume + Expiratory Reserve Volume).
- Total Lung Capacity (TLC): Maximum volume of air lungs can hold equal to 6 liters (Tidal Volume + Inspiratory Reserve Volume + Expiratory Reserve Volume + Residual Volume). Reduced TLC suggests restrictive disease. Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) is the maximum volume of air exhaled as rapidly as possible after maximal inhalation.
Pulmonary Functions
- Ventilation: Movement of air into and out of lungs for gas exchange.
- Perfusion: Circulation of blood through tissues and organs for gas exchange.
- Diffusion: Movement of O2 and CO2 molecules across permeable membranes due to pressure differences.
- Regulation of oxygenation and gas exchange: Vital function of lungs
- Protection: Lungs defend against pathogens and irritants, mainly by macrophages and surfactant.
- Maintenance of cardiac output: Function of the lungs to support cardiac function and blood pressure.
- Immunity: Lungs role in immune defense.
- Fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance: Lungs play a minor role in these processes.
Other Pulmonary Information
- Anatomic Dead Space: Volume of airways where gas exchange cannot occur, usually 150 mL
- Physiological Dead Space: Total volume of airways where gas exchange cannot occur. Includes anatomical dead space plus additional areas of non-functional tissue.
