These procedures remove 20-30% of severely diseased lung tissue; the remaining parts of the lung are joined together
cutting away diseased parts of the lungs so that healthy tissue functions better
Inhalation is caused by a reduction in air pressure inside the lungs by increasing their volume through diaphragm contraction. Exhalation is cause by the decreasing lung volume upon relaxation of the diaphragm. The elasticity of lung tissue causes the lung to retract, increasing the internal lung pressure above atmospheric pressure and the air moves out.

The treatment options for lung cancer are surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, either alone or in combination, depending on the stage of the cancer.Bullectomy.Lung volume reduction surgery.Lung transplant.pulmonary rehabilitation.
Total lung volume equals Vital Capacity + Residual Volume.
Complications of tidal volume include barotrauma (lung damage from high pressures), volutrauma (lung damage from excessive stretch), and ventilator-associated lung injury. Inadequate tidal volume can lead to hypoventilation and hypercapnia, while excessive tidal volume can cause ventilator-induced lung injury. Close monitoring and adjustment of tidal volume is important to avoid these complications.
Intial volume = final volume from this approach if you know any one of them % reduction in area or % elangation. you can calculate other
Your total lung capacity is the total volume of the lung after maximum inspiration. (average 6 litres).
