	Lung volumes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tidal volume (TV) is the amount of air breathed in or out during normal respiration.
		Tidal volume (TV): the volume of air an individual is normally breathing in and out.
		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).

	Lowering Tidal Volume Saves Lives in the ICU (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Simply by decreasing tidal volume on the ventilator, intensivists can markedly lower mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and other forms of acute lung injury and increase the likelihood that these patients can be weaned from mechanical ventilation.

	CHEST: Tidal volume, PEEP, and barotrauma: an open and shut case? - positive end-expiratory pressure - Editorial (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Ventilation at low volumes may extend lung injury, even when high peak alveolar pressures and large tidal volumes are avoided.[4] The exact cause for this "low end" damage remains uncertain, but persistent collapse and/or tidal opening and reclosure of injured tissue are thought to contribute.
		That tidal recruitment might occur in at least a portion of the lung is highly plausible; dependent alveoli are exposed to lower end-expiratory transmural forces, owing to the increased vertical gradients of pleural and interstitial pressure that characterize the edematous lung.
		Whether PEEP simply adds to the end-expiratory volume of units that are already open or maintains patency of unstable alveoli depends on the patient, the stage of disease, and the vertical position of the alveolus within the injured lung.

		In animals, ventilation with the use of large tidal volumes caused the disruption of pulmonary epithelium and endothelium, lung inflammation, atelectasis, hypoxemia, and the release of inflammatory mediators.
		The use of lower tidal volumes during ventilation in patients with acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome may reduce injurious lung stretch and the release of inflammatory mediators.
		The tidal volumes and plateau pressures were significantly lower on days 1, 3, and 7 in the group treated with lower tidal volumes than in the group treated with traditional tidal volumes (Table 3).

	Anesthesia Gas Machine- Ventilators (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		In volume control mode, driving gas flow ceases when the set tidal volume is delivered to the breathing circuit (not necessarily the patient- the two quantities may differ due to compliance losses or leaks!) or when a certain pressure is reached (peak pressure varies).
		In traditional ventilators, which are not fresh gas decoupled, the delivered tidal volume is the sum of the volume delivered from the ventilator and the fresh gas volume.
		The volume and flow sensors provide feedback which allows the ventilator to adjust the delivered tidal volume so that it matches the set tidal volume, in spite of the total fresh gas flow, or in case of changes in fresh gas flow.

		The exhaled volume of a spontaneous breath indicates respiratory effectiveness, as a spontaneous tidal volume of at least 5 mL/kg is one parameter in the pre-extubation patient assessment.

		The total volume exhaled in the 12 or 15 seconds is multiplied by 60 seconds / accumulation time to determine the total ventilation the person would have achieved if they had breathed at the same rate and volume for the entire minute.
		When tidal volume is increased at the same rate, every additional milliliter of ventilation is involved in gas exchange as the breath has already ventilated the dead space.
		Since flowrate from the volume / time plot is determined by determining the slope of a portion of the curve, it was necessary to look at the first liter exhaled after there was time for the air to be accelerated, thus discarding the first 200 ml.

	High tidal volume ventilation induces NOS2 and impairs cAMP- dependent air space fluid clearance -- Frank et al. 284 ...
		If tidal volume was reduced after 1 h of high tidal volume ventilation, basal AFC returned to the same level as in unventilated rats and rats ventilated with low tidal volume for 3 h.
		After 1 h of low tidal volume (6 ml/kg, LVT 1 h) ventilation, the basal AFC rate (solid bars) was 18.8 ± 1.1%/h, and the cAMP-dependent clearance (open bars) was 26.0 ± 3.1%/h.
		This is a representative gel showing increased NOS2 in whole lung homogenates from rats ventilated with high tidal volume ventilation for 1 h followed by 2 h of ventilation with low tidal volume compared with rats ventilated with low tidal volume for 3 h or no mechanical ventilation.

		Peripheral intra-airway abrasion, was caused by the unrelenting tidal induced closure and re-inflation of small terminal pulmonary airways (which closed during the expiratory phase of the CMV Ventilator); as the dilating inspiratory intrapulmonary pressure rises decayed during the expiratory phase of the Ventilator, only to again be re-expanded during the next inspiratory tidal delivery.
		By employing a, typical IPV® percussive (higher rate) sub tidal volume delivery (with "relatively high impaction forces", associated with the tidal exchange of acceptable Volume/Pressure CMV Ventilators) the sustained peak inflation pressures can be dramatically reduced when employed as a "convective transport vehicle" for the Intrapulmonary Percussive (IPV®) delivery; into the pulmonary structures.
		This is analogues to driving a TIDAL VOLUME into the lung with a "sledge hammer", with one blow; as opposed to gradually, inflating and deflating the lung with mini volume deliveries, which gradually "TAP INFLATE AND DEFLATE" the elastomeric intrapulmonary structures.

		During a constant higher frequency Sub Tidal Volume delivery from any form of Generator, the Dynamic Functional Residual Capacity (D/FRC) of the lung can be increased to a determined level, by the use of a Constant Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) as a carrier.
		Essentially, the Lung Volume is increased in a "step up" fashion by the partial delivery of successive Sub Tidal Volumes, then after reaching a stabilized oscillatory plateau, the Lung is allowed to passively return to a programmed Baseline by the exhalation of a conventional Tidal Volume.
		Programming consists of establishing a diffusive/convective Sub Tidal Volume stacking until reaching a diffusive oscillatory equilibrium (plateau), then, from the diffusive plateau, start a gradual inspiratory flow acceleration to transport the diffusive oscillation upward, increasing lung volume until the second level of oscillatory equilibrium is reached.

	Spirometry
		Spirometry is the classic pulmonary function test, which measures the volume of air inspired orexpired as a function of time.
		Spirometry cannot, however, access information about absolute lung volumes, because it cannot measurethe amount of air in the lung but only the amount entering or leaving.
		Thus information aboutfunctional residual capacity, and lung volumes computed from FRC, such as total lung capacity andresidual volume, must be computed via different means, such as body plethysmography or gas dilution.
