| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Total Lung Capacity (TLC) = | Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) + Tidal Volume (TV) + Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) + Residual Volume (RV) |
| Vital Capacity (VC) = | Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) + Tidal Volume (TV) + Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) |
| Inspiratory Capacity (IC) = | Tidal Volume (TV) + Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) |
| Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) = | Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) + Residual Volume (RV) |
| Determining Lung Capacities Values | are calculated for an individual patient based on variables such as height, weight, sex, and age. A value is usually considered abnormal if it is less than 80% of the reference value |
| Tidal Volume = | 500 mL |
| Expiratory Reserve Volume = | 1000 mL |
| Vital Capacity = | 4000-5000 mL |
| Inspiratory Capacity = | 3000-4000 mL; 75-80% of vital capacity; 55-60% of total lung capacity |
| Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) = | 83% of VC |
| Forced Expiratory Volume in two seconds (FEV2) = | 94% of VC |
| Forced Expiratory Volume in three seconds (FEV3) = | 97% of VC |
