Please suggest trick for learning respiratory volumes .
Tidal volume (TV): Air inhaled and exhaled during quiet breathing
-
Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV): Maximum volume of air that can be inspired in excess of normal inspiration
-
Expiratory reserve volume (ERV): Maximum volume of air that can be expired in excess of normal expiration
-
Residual volume (RV): Volume remaining after maximal expiration
Lung capacities
-
Inspiratory capacity (IC) = TV + IRV
-
Vital capacity (VC) = TV + IRV + ERV or IC + ERV
-
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) = ERV + RV
-
Total lung capacity (TLC) = IRV + TV + ERV +
