4. Mr. Joe smith lab report shows that the tidal volume, Inspiratory reserve volume, Expiratory reserve volume are reduced. The lung volumes are reduced. It shows that his lungs are finding difficult to expand. It may be due to the dysfunction of the alveoli. Due to the prolonged smoking his lungs received reduced oxygen so he may have hypercapnia. So later the parts of alveoli not received oxygen, so it tends to become stiff. Thus the lungs is not getting fully expanded. This is the physiological changes.
5. From the data, it is clear that the lung volumes are reduced.Diagnosis: Restrictive lung disease ( It can be pulmonary fibrosis). Only in this type of disease the lung volumes reduced.
6. Alveolar fibrosis - stiffness of the lungs - difficulty in lung expansion - hence rapid breathing by using accessory muscles - Hence the symptom shortness of breath present.
Due to the impaired lung expansion and function the extrapulmonary fluids may get accumulated in lung area it contributes for lung infection.

Exercise 3: Calculating Respiratory Capacities A 25-year-old male with a history of mild asthma well-controlled with medications is determined to have the following respiratory volumes via spirometry. Based on these measured values, fill in the table below for this patient. (Normal residual volume, which cannot be measured with spirometry, for an adult male is 1200 ml.) Measured values: TV = 500 ml. IRV = 3100 ml. ERV = 1200 ml. Tidal volume (resting) (TV) Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) Expiratory reserve...

A male patient has the following respiratory values. What is the patient's calculated total lung capacity (TLC)? Tidal volume (TV) = 512 ml Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) = 1245 ml Vital capacity (VC) = 4732 ml
Given the following, calculate expiratory reserve volume TV = 450,000 microL VC = 6.2 L IRV = 1700 mL How does vital capacity normally vary with age? How does residual volume normally vary with age? How does residual volume and vital capacity vary with height? During an asthma attack, intense bronchoconstriction can occur. How would this affect expiratory reserve volume? What respiratory muscle is impaired by pregnancy? Explain how. In obstructive lung diseases expiration is difficult. How would this affect...
3) Choose appreciate letter for conditions below and explain: a) Emphysema: Patients with emphysema have lungs with reduced elastic recoil, leading to an increase in resting lung volume or functional residual capacity (FRC). FRC consists of two sub-volumes called a. Tidal volume and residual volume b. Inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume c. Tidal volume and expiratory reserve volume d. Expiratory reserve volume and residual volume It is sufficient that you give the correct letter answer here b) Spirometry...
1) Which of the following cannot be measured through spirometry? a. Forced Vital Capacity b. Forced Expiratory Volume c. Maximum Voluntary Ventilation d. Residual Volume 2) An FEV1 value of 70% would indicate a. An FEV1 value of 70% would indicate b. mild obstruction c. moderate obstruction d. severe obstruction 3) A normal tidal volume value would be a. 500 mL b. 1000 mL c. 2000 mL d. 2500 mL 4) Which of the following represents the sum of vital...
A 150 lb., 62-year-old man had a chronic productive cough, exertional dyspnea, mild cyanosis, and marked slowing of forced expiration. Calculate the tidal volume (TV) for this person before and after the bronchodilator therapy. His pulmonary function and laboratory tests follow: Frequency 16 breaths/min Alveolar ventilation 4.2 L/min Vital capacity (VC) 2.2 L Functional residual capacity (FRC) 4.0 L Total lung capacity (TLC) 5.2 L Maximum inspiratory flow rate 250 L/min Maximum expiratory flow rate 20 L/min PaO2 62 mm...
A 17 year old student complained of wheezing and shortness of breath, especially at night. He was known to be allergic to feathers and house dust. Physical examination revealed inspiratory and expiratory rales and hyperresonance with percussion of the chest but no cyanosis. Radiologic examination suggested over-inflation of the lungs, but no localized disease. The following laboratory and pulmonary function test values were obtained: Vital Capacity 2,800 ml (decreased) Functional Residual Capacity 4,420 ml (increased) Total Lung Capacity 7,050 ml...
