Record experimental respiratory volumes as determined in the laboratory?
Respiratory volume is defined as how much air a person can hold in their lungs. Respiratory volume can be measured by having the person take a deep breath, and blow out into a device that measures air capacity.
What can be measured by Decilitres?
Small volumes can be measured.
What instrument measures respiratory volumes?
One example is the spirometer.
What instrument measures vital capacity and various respiratory volumes?
spirometer
Which respiratory volumes will emphysema affect the most?
It decreases Residual Volume
What are Respiratory capacities are measured with what?
spirometer
What factors could affect the measurement of respiratory volumes?
I don't know. That's what I am looking for.
What metric unit do you use to measure lung capacity with?
All volumes are measured in litres.
When measuring fluids for a patient is it measured in cubic centimeters?
It most often is, depending on the fluid and the volume administered. Larger volumes are measured in litres.
What air volumes cannot be measured using a simple spirometer?
Functional residual capacity (FRC)
What are small volumes are measured in?
In the metric system look for milliliters. In the SAE look for fluid ounces.
What is the pulmonary function test?
Pulmonary function tests are used to diagnose respiratory disorder. Lung volume and lung capacities are measured. Normally the doctor will use an instrument called spirometer to measure various lung volumes. Some of the lung disorder a patient can have are: asthma, and Emphysema.
