    Spirometry

    • A common test used to assess how well your lungs work by measuring how

    much air you inhale, how much you exhale and how quickly you exhale.

    • The devise is called spirometer.


    spirometer
    A-Lung volumes
    Lung volumes are of four types :
    1- Tidal volume (TV)
    2- Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)
    3- Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
    4- Residual volume (RV)
    1. Tidal volume (TV) = 500 ml

    It is the volume of air inspired or expired per each cycle of normal quiet

    breathing.

    2- Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) = 3000 ml

    It is the volume of air which can be inspired by maximum forced inspiration

    after normal inspiration


    3-Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) = 1100 ml

    It is the volume of air which can be expired by maximum expiration after

    normal expiration.

    4-Residual volume (RV) = 1200 ml

    It is the volume of air remaining in the lung after maximal expiration.

    Can’t be tested by spirometry.

    •Minimal air: Few air remain in lung even after lung collapse (150 ml).
    Importance of (RV):

    Medico legal importance: It determines whether a newborn dead baby had born

    died or after delivery. This is known by placing apiece of the baby’s lung in

    water:

    - If baby is born alive, he will respire. So, contain his lungs contain RV. Lungs

    float in water.

    •- If baby is born dead, he will not respire. So, no RV in his lungs. Lungs sink in
    water.
