Tidal volume: that volume of air moved into or out of the lungs in 1 breath (TV indicates a subdivision of the lung; when tidal volume is precisely measured, as in gas exchange calculation, the symbol TV or V T is used.) RV: Residual volume: the volume of air remaining in the lungs after a maximal exhalation: ERV
A lung's capacity consists of two or more lung volumes. The lung volumes are tidal volume (V T), inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), expiratory reserve volume (ERV), and residual volume (RV). The four lung capacities are total lung capacity (TLC), inspiratory capacity (IC), functional residual capacity (FRC) and vital capacity (VC).
Minute ventilation (or respiratory minute volume or minute volume) is the volume of gas inhaled (inhaled minute volume) or exhaled (exhaled minute volume) from a person's lungs per minute. It is an important parameter in respiratory medicine due to its relationship with blood carbon dioxide levels .
Mean transit time is the area under the flow-volume curve divided by the forced vital capacity. [ 27 ] Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) MIP, also known as negative inspiratory force (NIF) , is the maximum pressure that can be generated against an occluded airway beginning at functional residual capacity (FRC).
