  Lung volumes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The tidal volume, vital capacity, inspiratory capacity and expiratory reserve volume can be measured directly with a spirometer.
Expiratory reserve volume (ERV): the maximum volume of air that can be expired in addition to the normally expired air.
Residual volume (RV): the amount of air that is always in the lungs and can never be expired (i.e.: the amount of air that stays in the lungs after maximum expiration).

 NGC - NGC Summary
Residual volume (RV) is the volume of gas remaining in the lung at the end of a maximal expiration.
It may be calculated by subtracting expiratory reserve volume from functional residual capacity (residual volume = functional residual capacity - expiratory reserve volume) or by subtracting vital capacity (VC) from total lung capacity, or TLC (residual volume = total lung capacity - vital capacity).
It is the sum of the expiratory reserve volume and residual volume.

The pressure of a gas in inversely proportional to its volume(the smaller the volume, the greater the pressure).
In the lung, decreasing the volume of the alveoli by 1/2 results in 2x the pressure in the alveoli.
Residual Volume: even after maximal exhalation, there remains in the lungs some volume of air (about 1200 ml) which cannot be removed from lungs (noncollapsable spaces) B.

The functional reserve capacities were thus the sum of the residual volume and expiratory reserve volume.
The insipiratory reserve volume is the volume of air above the TV when the subject inspired to maximum capacity, or the potential volume of air that is not taken up during normal inspiration.
The expiratory reserve volume is the volume of air that is forcibly expired at the end of tidal expiration, or the potential volume of air that is not normally expelled.

 Lung volumes Pulmonology
Tidal volume (TV) is the amount of airbreathed in or out during normal respiration.
Residual volume (RV) is the amount of air left in the lungs after a maximal exhalation.
This is about 1.5 L. Inspiratory reserve volume similarly, is the additional air that can be inhaled after a normal tidal breath in.

Forced expiratory volume in one second; the volume that a subject can exhale in the first second during a forced expiration test.
Functional Residual Capacity Also known as FRC, this is the lung volume at the end of a normal expiration, when the muscles of respiration are completely relaxed; at FRC and at FRC only, the tendency of the lungs to collapse is exactly balanced by the tendency of the chest wall to expand.

 Anesthesiology Ventilation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Functional reserve capacity would be approximately 2300 ml; definition -- volume remaining in lungs at resting expiratory levels: equivalent to alveolar volume (A) consisting of respiratory bronchioles and alveolar ducts (30%-40%); and alveoli: (60%-70%).
In the latter example, the dilutional step had to do with the anesthetic circuit volume and how the magnitude of that volume would causes dilution of the anesthetic concentration as measured at the outflow point of the anesthesia machine.
As gas molecules continue to be primarily transferred from the alveolar volume to blood, the concentration, let's say, the number of anesthetic molecules in the blood increases and with that comes an increased likelihood that movement of anesthetic molecules in the blood back across the alveolar membrane will occur.

The volume of air entering or leaving the lungs in one minute is the respiratory minute volume.
In both, an estimate of volume of air exchanged (in liters) combined with the time during which breathing was sampled (in seconds or minutes) can be used to calculate a crude average rate of airflow (liters/sec, liters/min).
Volume (litres) is estimated by multiplying the flow rate (liters/min) by the flow duration (min).

At the beginning of this Case Study, you were introduced to the concept of respiration.
There are four measurable respiratory volumes that are important indicators of respiratory fitness: (1) tidal volume (TV), (2) inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), (3) expiratory reserve volume (ERV), and (4) vital capacity (VC).
(The term capacity is used to refer to a volume that is obtained by adding together two or more other volumes.) The residual volume (RV) is not an easily measured value, but there is an accepted standard value attached to this volume that can be used when needed for calculations or graphing exercises.
