Spirometry Explained

The measurement of air entering and leaving the lungs, including forced airflow and volumes during inspiration and expiration is known as ______.

In a Forced Vital Capacity Maneuver, coaching the ______ capacity enthusiastically helps achieve the optimal TLC.

[Blank] is the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled quickly and forcefully as possible after a minimum inspiration.

The percent of total FVC volume exhaled within a specified time from the start of the maneuver is known as Forced ______ Volume Percent.

A decreased ______ ratio is indicative of obstructive disease.

The average expiratory flow rate between the first 0.2 and 1.2L of the FVC volume is known as Maximum ______ Flow Rate.

The average expiratory flow rate between 75% and 85% of FVC volume is the ______ Expiratory Flow Rate.

The volume of air that is inhaled and then exhaled with each normal breath is known as ______ volume.

The maximum volume of air that can be inhaled following and above a normal tidal breath is the ______ reserve volume.

The maximum volume of air that can be exhaled from the resting end-expiratory level is the ______ reserve volume.

The volume of air remaining in the lungs after a maximum expiration is known as ______ volume.

The maximum volume of air that can be inhaled from the normal resting end-expiratory level, which combined Tidal Volume (VT) and Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV), is called ______ capacity.

The volume of air remaining in the lungs at the resting end-expiratory level, which is the sum of Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) and Residual Volume (RV), is known as ______ residual capacity.

The maximum volume of air that can be exhaled following a maximum inspiration or inhaled following a maximum expiration is called ______ capacity.

The volume of air contained within the lungs following a maximum inspiration is referred to as total ______ capacity.

When palpating the chest for tactile fremitus, the patient is typically asked to repeat the words '______'.

During chest palpation, ______ fremitus is assessed using the ulnar border of the hand.

When assessing chest mobility, the evaluation focuses on the ______ of chest movements.

In auscultation, decreased breath sounds may indicate ______ or air trapping, as seen in COPD.

Murmurs usually occur when blood flows in ______ fashion through heart structures that have a decreased cross-sectional area.
