| Question | Answer |
| Volume | The amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object or region of space, expressed in cubic units. |
| Capacity | The ability to receive, hold, or absorb: The maximum amount that can be contained. |
| TIDAL VOLUME (Vt) | Most common volume that RCPs deal with on a daily basis is _____. Amount of volume you have going in and out with every breathe. |
| FRC (Functional Residual Capacity) | Most common capacity that we deal with is ____ A tool used to help a patient oxygenate. |
| TLC | total lung capacity - 6000mL |
| oxygenatin | O2 |
| Ventilation | CO2 |
| IRV | Ispiratory reserve volume - 3100mL |
| ERV | Expiratory reserve volume - 1200mL |
| RV | Residual Volume - 1200mL. unable to be measured directly. It can never be exhaled in order to help with the next inhalation. |
| Normal Tidal volume | about 500mL |
| IC | Inspiratory capacity - about 3600mL |
| FRC | Functinal residual capacity - 2400mL |
| VC | Vital capacity - 4800mL |
| how do you measure RV? | Helium Dilution Method Nitrogen Washout Method Body Plethysmographic Method (Body Box) |
| The higher FRC is | the more likely you are to retain CO2 |
| restrictive disease | cause low lung volumes and low cause low capacities. Ex. kyphoscoliosis. |
