1
New cards

Peak-Flow Meter

  • Measures the rate of which air can be expelled out from the lungs (for asthmatics)

2
New cards

Vitalograph

  • Provides a graph of the volume of air that can be breathed out as quickly as possible (the air-forced expiratory value)

3
New cards

Spirometer

  • Measures the different versions of lung volume and the breathing patterns

4
New cards

Tidal Volume

  • The volume of air moving in/out with each resting breath

5
New cards

Vital Capacity

  • The air breathed in with the strongest possible exhalation with the deepest intake of breath

6
New cards

Inspiratory Reserve Volume

  • The maximum amount of air to breathe in which is higher than a normal ventilation

7
New cards

Expiratory Reserve Volume

  • The maximum amount of air to force out higher than the normal tidal volume of air

8
New cards

Residual Volume

  • The volume of air left in the lungs after exhaling as hard as possible

9
New cards

Total Lung Capacity

  • The sum of the vital capacity and the residual volume

  • (TLC = IRV + ERV + RV)

10
New cards

Breathing Rate and Ventilation Rate

  • The number of breaths taken per min

  • The total volume of air inhaled per min (VR = TV x BR)
