Low ventilator expiratory minute volume can be caused by several factors, including inadequate tidal volume settings, increased airway resistance, or reduced lung compliance. Additionally, patient factors such as respiratory muscle weakness or obstructive airway conditions can contribute to diminished ventilation. Equipment malfunctions or leaks in the ventilatory circuit may also lead to lower minute volumes. Proper assessment and adjustments are essential to address the underlying causes effectively.
What else can I help you with?
What causes a low forced expiratory volume?
Smoking, a cold possibly, allergies,etc.
What is the difference between normal ventilation and minute ventilation?
Normal ventilation means the patient receives a normal pressure or volume of gas while inspiring and also while expiring. Minute ventilation means the ventilator makes sure that the patient inspires and expires the particular minute volume set for the patient. For example if it is a 70kg patient . He needs a minute volume of 7L/min. the ventilator makes sure that the person inspires and expires 7L/min.
What are the effects of exercise on the expiratory reserve volume?
Regular exercise can increase the strength and efficiency of respiratory muscles, including those involved in exhalation. This can lead to improved lung function, increased expiratory muscle strength, and potentially an increase in expiratory reserve volume over time.
What are the acute and chronic effects of exercise on Inspiratory and Expiratory residual volume?
ACUTE EFFECT - The inspiratory and expiratory volume decreases during exercise
What does FEV1 stand for?
Forced expiratory volume
What is a volume ventilator?
It is designed to deliver air at a set volume
How do you do capacity?
It's the inspiratory reserve volume plus the tidal volume plus the expiratory reserve volume
How do you calculate tidal volume in ventilator?
you dont
How do you calculate expiratory reserve volume?
Erv = FEV - TV
What causes high pressure alarm on a ventilator?
High pressure alarm on a ventilator can be caused by factors such as kinked tubing, secretions blocking the airway, patient coughing or biting on the endotracheal tube, or increased resistance in the airway due to bronchospasm. It can also be triggered by the ventilator delivering too much volume or pressure to the patient.
What are the volumes that makes up vital capacity?

What are the three volumes that make up vital capacity?
Expiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, you amateurs
