Inspiratory flow rate refers to the rate at which air is taken into the lungs during inhalation. It is typically measured in liters per minute and can vary depending on factors such as lung function and respiratory conditions. Changes in inspiratory flow rate can help in diagnosing and monitoring lung diseases.
In a time-cycled ventilator, the breath is delivered for a set period of time, regardless of patient effort, while in a flow-cycled ventilator, the breath is delivered until a preset flow rate is reached. Time-cycled ventilation is independent of the patient's respiratory effort, whereas flow-cycled ventilation is dependent on the patient's inspiratory effort.
To adjust the flow rate of continuous irrigation, you can control the flow by adjusting the height of the irrigation bag or container. Increasing the height will usually increase the flow rate, while decreasing the height will lower it. Alternatively, you can use a flow regulator if your irrigation system has one to adjust the flow rate more precisely.
Flow rate is directly related to pressure in a system. As pressure increases, flow rate typically increases as well. This relationship can be described by principles such as Bernoulli's equation, which shows that an increase in pressure leads to an increase in fluid velocity and thus flow rate.
The mass flow rate of gasoline from a pump depends on the pump's flow rate and the density of gasoline. It is typically measured in kilograms per second or pounds per hour. The mass flow rate can be calculated by multiplying the volumetric flow rate (in liters per minute or gallons per hour) by the density of gasoline (in kg/L or lb/gal).
If the flow tube radius on the left is increased, the flow rate will increase because a larger cross-sectional area allows for more fluid to pass through. Conversely, if the flow tube radius on the left is decreased, the flow rate will decrease as the smaller cross-sectional area restricts the flow of fluid. The flow rate is directly proportional to the radius of the flow tube.
In a time-cycled ventilator, the breath is delivered for a set period of time, regardless of patient effort, while in a flow-cycled ventilator, the breath is delivered until a preset flow rate is reached. Time-cycled ventilation is independent of the patient's respiratory effort, whereas flow-cycled ventilation is dependent on the patient's inspiratory effort.

A 10 liters per minute facemask can deliver approximately 100% oxygen to the patient because it can provide a high flow rate that matches the patient's inspiratory flow rate, ensuring the delivery of nearly pure oxygen.
Inspiratory pressure refers to the amount of pressure generated during inhalation to expand the lungs and allow air to flow into the respiratory system. It is measured in centimeters of water pressure and is an important parameter to evaluate respiratory function, especially in conditions like asthma or COPD. Inspiratory pressure can be influenced by factors such as lung compliance and airway resistance.
wheeze can be inspiratory or expiratory but stridor is mostly inspiratory
As the rate of flow decreases, the rate of deposition increases
Inspiratory reserve volume is the volume you can inhale past the normal tidal volume.
In a system, the relationship between pressure and flow rate is described by the pressure vs flow rate equation. This equation shows that as pressure increases, flow rate decreases, and vice versa. This means that there is an inverse relationship between pressure and flow rate in a system.
The maximum pressure exerted against the patients airway during the breath.
Mass flow rate is the amount of mass passing through a given point per unit time, while volumetric flow rate is the volume of fluid passing through a given point per unit time. The mass flow rate is calculated by multiplying the volumetric flow rate by the fluid density at that point.
Viscosity is the term.
