Factors which may affect tidal volume and therefore overall minute ventilation during invasive ventilation include: lung compliance and resistance, Correct ETT/ tracheostomy positioning, adequate cuff pressure, ventilator settings ( eg. Is the pt in a controlled or spontaneous mode of ventilation, the level of pressure support dialed up etc), the patients conscious state and the patency of the ETT/tracheostomy tube.
bigger body surface area = bigger vital capacity
Four factors that can affect the vital capacity of a person are age (vital capacity decreases with age), gender (males tend to have higher vital capacity than females), height (taller individuals usually have higher vital capacity), and physical fitness level (regular exercise can increase vital capacity).

Normal vital capacity for a female typically ranges from about 3.1 to 4.2 liters, depending on factors such as age, height, and overall health. Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air a person can exhale after taking a deep breath and is an important measure of lung function. Individual values may vary, so it's essential to consider these factors when assessing respiratory health.

the vital capacity of lungs is 3.5 liters to 4.5 litres
vital lung capacity is how much air remains in your lungs after you exhale
My vital capacity is 1650cc (Yes, it's very low, but I'm twelve and I'm small). cc is used to measure vital capacity.
Yes, vital capacity can differ when lying down compared to standing or sitting. In a supine position, the diaphragm's movement may be restricted due to abdominal pressure, potentially leading to a decrease in lung expansion. This can result in a lower vital capacity when measured in a lying position. However, individual variations and specific health conditions can also influence these changes.
Vital Capacity (VC)
A teenage girl will likely have the same vital capacity as an adult woman. About 5 to 6 liters of air would be the vital capacity for a 15 year old female.
