Pulmonary Function Test Report

This document contains instructions and templates for a pulmonary function lab report. It provides details on measuring and calculating various lung volumes and capacities, including tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, residual volume, inspiratory capacity, expiratory capacity, functional residual capacity, and total lung capacity. Students are asked to record their measurements and calculations, compare observed values to predicted and average values, and answer questions defining key terms and explaining how various factors can influence lung measurements.

Subject was relaxed, breathing normally for 5 breaths, then inhaled deeply,
exhaled completely, and returned to normal breathing.
The Residual Volume Preference was set to 1.00 Liter.

I. Data and Calculations


A. Vital Capacity
i.) Predicted: Use the equation below to calculate your Predicted Vital
Capacity: liters

Equations for Predicted Vital Where


Capacity V.C. Vital Capacity in liters
Male V.C. = 0.052H - H Height in centimeters
0.022A – 3.60 A Age in years
Female V.C. = 0.041H -
0.018A – 2.69

ii) Observed: Use the P-P result to note Observed Vital


Capacity:

iii) Observed vs. Predicted


What is Subject’s observed Vital Capacity to predicted Vital Capacity as a

1
percentage?

Observed/Predicted VC = x 100= %

Note: Vital capacities are dependent on other factors besides age and
height. Therefore, 80% of predicted values are still considered “normal.”
B. Volume & Capacity Measurements
Complete Table 12.2 with the requested measurement results and calculate
results per the formulas provided.
Table 12.2 Measurements
Title Measurement Result Calculation
Tidal Volume (TV) a= Cycle 3 inhale: (a + b + c + d) /
b= Cycle 3 exhale: 4=

c= Cycle 4 inhale:
d= Cycle 4 exhale

Volume (IRV)
Expiratory Reserve
Volume (ERV)
Residual Volume (RV) Default = 1

Inspiratory Capacity (IC) TV + IRV =
Expiratory Capacity (EC) TV + ERV =
Functional Residual ERV + RV =

Total Lung Capacity (TLC) IRV + TV + ERV

C. Observed vs. Predicted Volumes
Using data obtained for Table 12.2, compare Subject’s lung volumes with
the average volumes presented in the Introduction.
Table 12.3 Average Volumes vs. Measured Volumes
Volume Title Average Volume Measured
Volume
Tidal Volume TV Resting subject, normal greater
breathing: than
TV is approximately 500 equal to
ml. less than

2
During exercise:
TV can be more than 3
liters
Inspiratory Reserve Volume Resting IRV for young greater
IRV adults is: than
males = approximately equal to
3,300 ml less than
females =
approximately 1,900 ml
Expiratory Reserve Volume Resting ERV for young greater
ERV adults is: than
males = approximately equal to
1,000 ml less than
females =
approximately 700 ml

II. Questions
D. Why does predicted vital capacity vary with height?

E. Explain how factors other than height might affect lung capacity.

F. How would the volume measurements change if data were collected after
vigorous exercise?

G. What is the difference between volume measurements and capacities?

H. Define Tidal Volume.

I. Define Inspiratory Reserve Volume.

J. Define Expiratory Reserve Volume.

K. Define Residual Volume.

L. Define Pulmonary Capacity.

M. Name the Pulmonary Capacities.
