Document Summary
Spirometery= refers to the measurement of lung volumes and lung capacities. Tlc= vc +rv vol of air in the lungs after maximal (forced) inhalation. Vc=irv+erv+vt max vol of air that can be exhaled after forced inhalation. Max vol of air that can be forcefully inhaled after normal inhalation. Max vol of air that can be forcefully exhaled after normal exhalation. Vol of air remaining in the lungs aftera maximal exhalation. Ic= vt + irv max vol of air that can be inhaled after normal (unforced) exhalation. Vt max vol of air that can be exhaled after a normal (unforced) exhalation. vol of air inspired or expired during each normal (unforced) ventilation cycle. Vol of air remaining in lungs after a normal (unforced exhalation) Eupnea or eupenic breathing = unforced ventilation ; normal, quiet breathing; the amount of air inhaled and exhaled in this manner is called tidal volume (vt).
