Study Notes
Pulmonary Volumes
- Tidal Volume (TV): Volume of air inhaled and exhaled in a normal breath, approximately 500 mL.
- Minute Tidal Volume: Total volume of air inhaled and exhaled per minute (TV x respiratory rate), approximately 8 L.
- Alveolar Volume: Volume of air reaching the alveoli (Tidal Volume – dead space volume), approximately 350 mL. Average minute alveolar volume is 5600 mL.
- Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV): Extra volume of air that can be inhaled beyond a normal breath, approximately 3000 mL. Indicates inspiratory muscle strength.
- Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV): Volume of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal breath, approximately 1100 mL. Indicates expiratory muscle strength.
- Residual Volume (RV): Volume of air remaining in lungs after a forceful exhalation, approximately 1200 mL. Indicates airway patency & elasticity.
Pulmonary Capacities
- Inspiratory Capacity (IC): Maximum amount of air that can be inspired (TV + IRV), approximately 3500 mL.
- Functional Residual Capacity (FRC): Amount of air remaining in the lungs at the end of a normal breath (ERV + RV), approximately 2300 mL. Increased in obstructive disorders.
- Vital Capacity (VC): Maximum amount of air that can be expelled from the lungs after maximum inhalation (IRV + TV + ERV), approximately 4600 mL.
- Total Lung Capacity (TLC): Maximum volume lungs can hold (TV + IRV + ERV + RV), approximately 6 L. Reduced in restrictive disorders, increased in severe COPD.
- Forced Vital Capacity (FVC): Maximum amount of air that can be exhaled as quickly as possible, indicates respiratory muscle strength and ventilatory reserve. Average for men is 4800 mL, women is 3500 mL. Reduced in obstructive and restrictive diseases.
Pulmonary Functions
- Ventilation: Movement of air into and out of the lungs.
- Perfusion: Circulation of blood through the lungs.
- Diffusion: Movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the alveolocapillary membrane.
- Regulation of oxygenation and gas exchange
- Protection (macrophages, surfactant)
- Maintenance of cardiac output and blood pressure
- Immunity
- Fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance
