What is residual volume in gastric feedings?
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.
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 high MPV mean?
MPV is an acronym for mean platelet volume. The MPV is a measurement of the average size of platelets. A high MPV usually means that there is good platelet function.
What does residual risk means?
It is the possibility of a remaining risk when all other risks have been eliminated
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.
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.

What do increased residual volume and decreased vital capacity indicate?
The increased residual volume and decreased vital capacity indicates difficulty in breathing. There are many conditions that can make the breathing capacity to reduce.
What does total lung capacity equals?
Total lung volume equals Vital Capacity + Residual Volume.
What is meant by residual volume with reference of breathing?
Exhalation is a passive action that results from elastic recoil and changes in air pressure. When this happens naturally a portion of air remains within the lungs- residual volume. However when exhalation is forced, that is conscious efforts to expel as much air as possible, many of the residual volume can be forced out of the lungs.
