Forced Vital Capacity Lab Report

159 Words1 Page

First measurement that was performed was Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1). The individual took a clean nose clip and the tube for the spirometer. The nose clip was placed on the nose so no air could escape from the nostrils. Then the individual took a deep breath and then exhaled all the air inside the tube. The FVC and FEV1 were then recorded. This procedure was repeated again. After the second time performing the FVC and FEV1 standing, the procedure was then repeated from step 1-3 lying supine. Second part of the lab was to measure Maximal Voluntary Ventilation (MVV12). The individual took a clean nose clip and tube. Individual held the tube in their mouth and inhaled and exhaled as fast and hard as they

    Understanding respiratory volumes, capacities, and measurements will help me perform my job as a medical assistant because they are significant being a medical assistant. First of all, when the patient is on the bed, I will measure the respiratory rate while he/she is at relaxation. In the next, I will observe the rise and fall of the victim 's chest and count the number of respirations for one full minute. Then, I will record the current time, respiratory rate and respiratory characteristics. Spirometry is used diagnose conditions that affect breathing such as asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and cystic fibrosis.

    Lung volume and lung capacity are two measurements of respiratory health and measured during pulmonary functions tests. It is show the physical condition of the lungs. Pulmonary ventilation, or breathing, is the process of air flowing into the lungs during inspiration (inhalation) and out of the lungs during expiration (exhalation). Air flows because of pressure differences between the atmosphere and the gases inside

    Ventilation/perfusion scans: Ventilation/perfusion scans, sometimes called a VQ (V=Ventilation, Q=perfusion) scan, is a way of identifying mismatched areas of blood and air supply to the lungs. It is primarily used to detect a pulmonary embolus. The perfusion part of the study uses a radioisotope tagged to the blood which shows where in the lungs the blood is perfusing. If the scan shows up any area missing a supply on the scans this means there is a blockage which is not allowing the blood to perfuse that part of the organ.

    According to the Wellness Consumer Health Information, “[These tests] known as Pulmonary Function Testing (PFTs), which show obstruction (Spriometry-FEV1/FVC ratio of less than 70 percent).”[3] In the first stage of emphysema, which known as mild emphysema. The forced expiratory volume, or FEV1, is more than 80% of the normal or equal. The patients who have this stage usually can control the symptoms easily and avoid it from progressing to other stagers. As a result, the patients can live as a normal

    From these questions that were given out by Dr. Frander, many students should have a great understanding what to expect to the mid-term exam. Dr. Frander really encouraged us to study because most of these questions are difficult. For instance, she gave us an example in a patient who has COPD/ emphysema. What we have concluded from this question what they are looking for the emphysema patients don’t have a problem of taking air in rather they have a problem of taking the air out. The main problem of the emphysema, they have a lot of mucus, and the alveoli which where the gas exchange takes is impaired.

    The maximal test measures the volume of air that is expired by an individual. This expired air is then analyzed to determine the oxygen and carbon dioxide content is done using either a Douglas bags or the metabolic cart. Whereas the submaximal test is create to ensure the intensity does not exceed 85% of the individual’s maximal heart rate. The physiological rationale for the submaximal testing is that heart rate and work rate have a linear relationship. The submaximal test, provides an estimate of an individual’s VO2max not the actual VO2max.

    However, negative pressure ventilators are not used much anymore, and have been replaced by positive pressure ventilators. This type of ventilator forces air into the lungs. Once the lungs have been inflated, the air pressure stops, allowing the lungs to deflate and force the air back out of the lungs. There are two main types of positive pressure ventilators: one is a simple face mask or tube going into the trachea that can be used in emergency situations by a doctor or nurse squeezing a bag at regular intervals. The second type is a large full-scale ventilation machines that can keep patients alive through major surgery.

    Vital capacity (VC) this is what air is left in the lungs after a forced expiration. This leads into what forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)is, which is how much air an individual can breath out in one second out of four seconds. Four seconds in the about of time it should take a normal individual to release all of their breath. This is different for an individual with a disease such as asthma because it is an obstructive disease which causes an individual the have difficulties in breathing. During a flare up an individual has a longer forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1).
