  • Residual Volume of Lungs Air

    It is the same as "inspiratory reserve volume." Vital capacity is inspiratory reserve (complemental) + tidal volume + expiratory reserve. Total lung capacity is vital capacity + residual volume.

  • Respiration

    This is the sum of inspiratory reserve volume (3600 ml), tidal volume (500 ml), and expiratory reserve volume (1200 ml).

  • O2 & CO2 and anaerobic threshold

    The spirometer enables the physician to measure tidal volume (TV), inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), expiratory reserve volume (ERV), vital capacity (VC), residual volume (RV), total lung capacity (TLC) and respiratory rate.

  • Regression analysis in SPSS

    problemSLP (Session Long Project) The dataset FEV.sav contains 6 variables: ID, age in years, FEV=forced expiratory volume in liters, height in inches, sex 0=female, 1=male, and smoke=current smoking status 0=nonsmoker 1=smoker.

  • Case Study: Neck Injuries and Partial Paralysis of Limbs

    Here are some normals according to Saladin (2001): cc=ml Tidal volume (TV): 500cc Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV): 3,000cc Expiratory reserve volume (ERV): 1,200cc Residual volume (RV): 1,2000cc Vital capacity (VC) = ERV+TV+IRV Inspiratory

  • Pulmonary function testing in the diagnosis and treatment of asthma

    If one is concerned about the bulk movement of air through the airways, then measures of the volume of gas moved per unit time are important. The Forced Expiratory Volume in the first second, or FEV1, is such a measure.

  • Interpretation of ANOVA results

    The response is forced expiratory volume (FEV), a measure of respiratory function.

  • Anatomy/Physiology of Respiratory, Urinary System, Fluid and Electrolytes

    This area of study includes a knowledge of tidal volume, anatomic dead space, inspiratory reserve, expiratory reserve, residual volume, minimal volume, etc.

  • Least Influential Parameters

    volume FEV 1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 sec lung elasticity (fev1/fev)
