Reference Values for Residual Volume, Functional Residual Capacity and Total Lung Capacity
Reference values play an important role in establishing whether, in an individual, measured volumes fall within a range to be expected for a healthy person of the same sex, similar stature, age, and other characteristics. Hence, reference values should be chosen that are appropriate to the person being investigated. Ideally, the reference values should be consistent; in the context of this pape...

متن کاملTotal lung capacity, residual volume and predicted residual volume in a densitometric study of older men.
Results of investigations using various lung volumes for hydrostatic weighing determinations (HWD) appear to be inconclusive. Often, these lung volumes are predicted and not clinically determined. For this reason, total lung capacity (TLC), a measured residual volume (RV), and a predicted residual volume (PRV) were used during HWDs to compare the techniques. Twenty-five older men, 56 to 70 year...
متن کاملHydrostatic weighing at residual volume and functional residual capacity.
Hydrostatic weighing (HW) was performed at both residual volume (RV) and functional residual capacity (FRC) to determine if underwater weighing at different lung volumes affected the measurement of body density. Subjects were 43 males, 18-25 yr. Subjects were submerged in the prone position, and the lung volume was measured by helium dilution at the time of the underwater weighing. Underwater w...
متن کاملHyperinflation: control of functional residual lung capacity.
Hyperinflation is the consequence of a dysbalance of static forces (determining the relaxation volume) and/or of the dynamic components. The relaxation volume is determined by an equilibrium between the elastic recoil of the lungs and of the chest walls. The dynamic components include the pattern of breathing, upper airway resistance and postinspiratory activity of inspiratory muscles. The resp...
