Which value do you choose and why? (3 pt).
- I choose value the TV “Tidal volume”, because I would like to know the amount of air inhaled and exhaled with breath under resting conditions of the patients.
Exercises 2 & 3: Pulmonary Function Tests: Compare the respiratory parameters between normal and simulated obstruction. Recall, we simulated an obstructive pulmonary disorder by covering the tube with duct tape and cutting an opening in it about the size of a pen’s diameter. Using the Horizontal Compression controls and the scroll bar, display the data for both normal pulmonary function tests (Exercise 2) and the simulated restricted airway (Exercise 3) for inclusion in your report.
Normal:
Respiratory parameter Experimental Predicted
FVC 3.392L
PIF 214.55L/min
PEF 237.09L/min
FEV1 2.438L
FEV1/FVC 71.88%
Simulated Airway Restiction:
Respiratory parameter Experimental Predicted
FVC 2.101L
PIF 24.04L/min
PEF 26.24L/min

Study Questions
5. There are two major categories that lung diseases fall into: Obstructive and Restrictive. Construct a small table for each lung condition (obstructive or restrictive) and predict what spirometry parameters that we measured in lab would most likely be decreased, which parameters would most likely be unchanged, and which parameters (if any) might be increased. (3 pt). Obstructive Restrictive
FVC normal or minimally decreased decrease
PIF
Please answer these questions then place them in the drop box for this lab. Use Microsoft word if possible.
Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) does not include tidal volume. Expiratory reserve volume is the amount of air that can be expelled after a normal tidal exhalation. This means that tidal volume is not included in the ERV measurement.

Cari’s po2 is 54 mm Hg so therefore her lungs were working as if she was doing intense exercise although she wasn’t. Decreased oxygen saturation and PO2, decrease the efficiency of gas exchange between the arterial blood and tissues of the body.
Use of daily spontaneous breathing trials to assess the patient’s ability to sustain ventilation, oxygenation, and breathing.
Refer as needed to the material in Chapters 12 and 13 of the textbook. Keep the following tips in mind as you research data, as well as organize, analyze, interpret, and illustrate these data:
This document is not meant to be a substitute for a formal laboratory report. The Lab Report Assistant is simply a summary of the experiment’s questions, diagrams if needed, and data tables that should be addressed in a formal lab report. The intent is to facilitate students’ writing of lab reports by providing this information in an editable file which can be sent to an instructor.
I would tell the doctor to stop if he didn’t start and grab a manual ventilator and try to find a replacement mechanical ventilator.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, also known as COPD, is the third leading cause of death in the United States. COPD includes extensive lungs diseases such as emphysema, non-reversible asthma, specific forms of bronchiectasis, and chronic bronchitis. This disease restricts the flow of air in and out of the lungs. Ways in which these limitations may occur include the loss of elasticity in the air sacs and throughout the airways, the destruction of the walls between air sacs, the inflammation or thickening of airway walls, or the overproduction of mucus in airways which can lead to blockage. Throughout this paper I am going to explain the main causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and ways to reduce COPD.
I then needed to carry out a respiratory assessment. I observed Mr Brown’s chest for any visible signs of scars or trauma. This appeared normal.
Spirometry is the most popular lung function test. The patient performs a maximal inhalation and then forcefully exhales as quickly and as long as they are able. The spirometer measures the volume of the air exhaled by patients. These measurements are taken at two intervals. The first measurement is the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), records the volume of air exhaled after one second. The second measurement is taken at the point where the patient has fully exhaled the volume of inhaled air; this measurement is the forced vital capacity (FVC) (Harpreet Ranu et al.,

Mrs. Green is a 55 year old female who had a total knee arthoplasty 3 days ago. The client is on 6 hourly observations. The last set of observation are: Temp 36.5 C, RR 22, HR 110, BP 170/86mmHg and SpO2 98% on room air. She has been complaining of ‘awful pain’ in her knee.
I am going to presume that if you are reading this article on Jane’s website,
NOTE: Data in Exhibits 2, 4, 5, and 6 are available in Microsoft Excel format on our course website. This will make it MUCH easier to do regressions.
