Study Notes
Spirometry and Lung Volumes
- Inspiratory capacity is a measure of compliance.
- Residual volume (RV) and expiratory reserve volume (ERV) are added to calculate functional residual capacity (FRC).
Pulmonary Ventilation
- The formula for calculating pulmonary ventilation is: Pulmonary Ventilation (VE) = Tidal Volume (TV) x Respiratory Rate (RR).
- With a tidal volume of 500 mL and a respiratory rate of 12 breaths/min, pulmonary ventilation is approximately 6000 mL/min or 6 L/min.
Lung Capacities
- Total lung capacity (TLC) represents the maximum volume of air that the lungs can hold.
- Forced vital capacity (FVC) represents the total amount of air a person can exchange through forced breathing.
- Vital capacity (VC) is the sum of inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), tidal volume (TV), and expiratory reserve volume (ERV).
Spirogram
- The program to access the Spirogram is not specified.
Calculations
- Pulmonary Ventilation (VE) in mL/min or L/min is calculated by: VE = TV x RR.
- Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) is calculated by: FEV1 = Volume expired in 1 second.
- The normal range for the percentage of vital capacity expired in 1 second is 80-120%.
Chemoreceptors
- Central chemoreceptors in the medulla monitor CO2 levels and pH.
- Peripheral chemoreceptors in aortic and carotid bodies can respond to changes in oxygen levels (paO2) independently of CO2.
Hyperventilation
- Hyperventilation decreases PCO2 and increases PO2 in the air of alveoli.
- Hyperventilation allows for a longer breath-holding time.
