It is the measurement used for gut motility. It is checked every 4 to 6 hours in enteral nutrition patients. If the RV is between 200 and 500 ml, measures are taken to prevent aspiration.

What is the function of residual volume?
The function of residual volume is to keep enough pressure in the lungs to keep them from collapsing.
Residual risk is determined when?
Residual risk is determined after you reassess the hazards as if the controls were in place.
In a good regression model the residual plot shows?
a random pattern
What does residual risk means?
It is the possibility of a remaining risk when all other risks have been eliminated
What does residual risk mean in rm process?
Risk that remains after all controls have been selected
What is Normal amount of gastric residual volume?
Dependant on the patient really, but it should be around 150-200 mL if I'm not mistaken.
Why do you check gastric residual?
for placement
The air remaining in the lung after a maximal expiration is the?
residual volume
What is residual volume of air?
Residual volume is the amount of air left in the lungs after a maximal exhalation
What is the functional residual capacity FRC composed of?
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) = Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) + Residual Volume (RV)
What volume allows gas exchange to go on continuously?
Residual volume allows gas exchange to go on continuously
What type of air is residual volume?
residual volume is the amount of air left in your lungs after fully exhaling.
What is the function of residual volume?
The function of residual volume is to keep enough pressure in the lungs to keep them from collapsing.
Which volume of air is not included in the vital capacity?
residual (reserve) volume
What is total residual volume?
It's (RV) = 1.2...
What is rvs lab test?
residual volume specimen
Why is residual volume important?
Residual Volume (rv) is important because it prevents the lungs from collapsing. It also prevents the inside surfaces of the lungs touching, thus creating friction. It also prevents the inner surfaces of the lungs sticking together. Another reason why we have a residual volume is that gaseous exchange is continuously occurring so after we have expelled as much air as possible (expiratory reserve volume) gaseous exchange is still occurring. Residual volume can be shown in this equation: residual volume = inspiratory reserve volume - tidal volume - expiratory reserve volume for an average person residual volume will be around 1 to 1.5 litres.
