INTRODUCTION Lung volumes and capacities are essential measurements in respiratory physiology that help assess lung function and diagnose respiratory diseases. Understanding these measurements is crucial for healthcare professionals to evaluate respiratory health and develop effective treatment plans.
INTRODUCTION Lung volume & lung capacity depends on the age , gender , morphism of an adult & changes when these are changed. There is reduction in the lung capacities when the person is having any type of restrictive or obstructive lung disease
Lung volume and Capacities chart A lung volume and capacities chart is a graphical representation of the different lung volumes and capacities, illustrating the relationships between them.
Lung Volume Lung volumes are measurements of the amount of air in the lungs at different stages of breathing. Understanding lung volumes is essential for assessing respiratory function and diagnosing lung diseases.
Types of Lung Volumes Tidal Volume: TV The amount of air inhaled and exhaled during normal breathing. About 500 mL
Types of Lung Volumes Inspiratory Reserve Volume: IRV The maximum amount of air that can be inhaled beyond TV. Approx.3000mL
Types of Lung Volumes Expiratory Reserve Volume: ERV The maximum amount of air that can be exhaled beyond TV. Approx.1000mL
Residual Volume: RV The amount of air remaining in the lungs after maximum exhalation. Approx.1200mL This is the only lung volume which cannot be measured with a spirometer. TYPES OF LUNG VOLUMES
Lung Capacities Lung capacities are measurements that represent the sum of two or more lung volumes. They provide valuable information about lung function and respiratory health.
Types of Lung Capacities Total Lung Capacity: TLC The total amount of air in the lungs after maximum inhalation. Approx.6000mL Called a capacity because it is the sum of the 4 basic lung volumes TLC= RV+IRV+TV+ERV
Types of Lung Capacities Vital Capacity: VC The maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after maximum inhalation. Approx.4500mL Called a capacity because it is the sum of inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume and expiratory reserve volume. VC= IRV+TV+ERV = TLC - RV
Types of Lung Capacities Functional Residual Capacity: FRC The amount of air remaining in the lung at the end of a normal expiration. Approx.2200mL The sum of residual volume and expiratory reserve volume. FRC= RV+ERV
Types of Lung Capacities Inspiratory Capacity: IC Maximum amount of air that can be inhaled from end expiratory position. Approx.3500mL This sum of Tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume IC= TV+IRV
Respiratory Diseases Restrictive Disease: Makes it more difficult to get air in to the lungs. They “restrict” inspiration. Decreased VC; Decreased TLC, RV, FRC Includes: Fibrosis Sarcoidosis Muscular diseases Chest wall deformities
Respiratory Diseases Obstructive Disease Make it more difficult to get air out of the lungs. Decrease VC; Increased TLC, RV, and FRC Includes: Emphysema Chronic bronchitis Asthma
