What leave the body when you exhale?

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.

What are the complications of tidal 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.
