Vital capacity (VC) is a measure of the maximum amount of air a person can exhale after taking a deep breath. On a ventilator, the value of vital capacity is important for setting appropriate tidal volumes and ensuring adequate ventilation. Typically, a tidal volume of 6-8 mL/kg of ideal body weight is used, which can be adjusted based on the patient's specific VC and clinical condition. Monitoring VC helps assess the patient's respiratory function and adjust ventilator settings accordingly.

what is the average value for vital capacity in healthy young adult males?
4800ml
Pulmonary Volume with its approximate value?
functional residual capacity 2300 Inspiratory capacity 3500 Vital capacity 4600 Total lung capacity 5800
What is the equation for tidal volume?
Amount of air that is inhaled or exhaled with normal breath. NORMAL VALUE IS 500ml Vital capacity= IRV+ TV+ ERV TV = Vital capacity- (IRV+ERV) I hope, this is it!!
What are four factors that can affect the vital capacity of a person?
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).

What is vital capacity of lungs?
the vital capacity of lungs is 3.5 liters to 4.5 litres
What is the normal value for vital capacity for a healthy male adult at rest?
Vital Capacity is the maximal amount of air that can be expired after a maximal inspiration. Normal amounts vary due to sex, age, height and weight of the patient.
What is vital lung capacity?
vital lung capacity is how much air remains in your lungs after you exhale
For vital capacity what units are the measurements in?
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.
How does your vital capacity compare with the average value for a person of your sex age and height?
Vital capacity varies based on factors such as age, sex, height, and fitness level. Generally, the average vital capacity for adult males is around 4.8 liters, while for females, it's about 3.1 liters. To compare my vital capacity with the average, I would need to consider my specific measurements against these averages. If my vital capacity is higher than average, it may indicate good lung health or fitness; if lower, it could suggest potential respiratory issues or lower physical conditioning.
