Study Notes
Pulmonary Volumes
- Tidal Volume (TV): Volume of air inhaled and exhaled in a normal breath. Approximately 500 mL.
- Minute Volume: Volume of air inhaled and exhaled in one minute. Calculated by multiplying TV by respiratory rate. Approximately 8 L.
- Alveolar Volume: Tidal volume minus dead space volume. Approximately 350 mL (500 mL – 150 mL).
- Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV): Extra volume of air that can be inhaled beyond the normal tidal volume. Approximately 3,000 mL.
- Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV): Volume of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal tidal inhalation. Approximately 1,100 mL.
- Residual Volume (RV): Volume of air remaining in the lungs after the most forceful exhalation. Approximately 1,200 mL.
- Forced Expiratory Flow (FEF) or Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF/PEFR): Flow rate of exhaled air during a forced exhalation.
- Forced Expiratory Volume 1 (FEV1): Maximum amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in the first second of exhalation following maximal inhalation. A normal value is 80% of a person's normal average.
- Diffusing Capacity of Lung Carbon Monoxide (DLCO): Measurement of the ability of gases to move from the alveoli into the blood.
Pulmonary Capacities
- Inspiratory Capacity (IC): Composed of tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume. Approximately 3,500 mL.
- Functional Residual Capacity (FRC): Composed of expiratory reserve volume and residual volume. Approximately 2,300 mL.
- Vital Capacity (VC): Composed of Inspiratory Reserve Volume + Tidal Volume + Expiratory Reserve Volume. Approximately 4,600 mL.
- Total Lung Capacity (TLC): Composed of tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, and residual volume. Approximately 6 L.
- Forced Vital Capacity (FVC): Maximum amount of air that can be exhaled as quickly as possible after a maximal inhalation. Indicates respiratory muscle strength and ventilatory reserve. Average values for men and women are given.
Pulmonary Functions
- Regulation of oxygenation and gas exchange.
- Protection (e.g., macrophages, surfactant).
- Maintenance of cardiac output and blood pressure.
- Immunity.
- Fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance.
