  2. Lung volumes and capacities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_volumes_and_capacities

    The average total lung capacity of an adult human male is about 6 litres of air. [1] Tidal breathing is normal, resting breathing; the tidal volume is the volume of air that is inhaled or exhaled in only a single such breath. The average human respiratory rate is 30–60 breaths per minute at birth, [2] decreasing to 12–20 breaths per minute ...

  3. Respiratory rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_rate

    This gives the lower of the average rate at 12 breaths per minute. Average resting respiratory rates by age are: [11] [self-published source] [12] birth to 6 weeks: 30–40 breaths per minute; 6 months: 25–40 breaths per minute; 3 years: 20–30 breaths per minute; 6 years: 18–25 breaths per minute; 10 years: 17–23 breaths per minute

  4. Vital signs - Wikipedia

    The pulse is the rate at which the heart beats while pumping blood through the arteries, recorded as beats per minute (bpm). [11] It may also be called "heart rate". In addition to providing the heart rate, the pulse should also be evaluated for strength and obvious rhythm abnormalities. [11] The pulse is commonly taken at the wrist (radial ...

  6. Minute ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_ventilation

    A normal minute volume while resting is about 5–8 liters per minute in humans. [1] Minute volume generally decreases when at rest, and increases with exercise. For example, during light activities minute volume may be around 12 litres. Riding a bicycle increases minute ventilation by a factor of 2 to 4 depending on the level of exercise involved.

  7. Work of breathing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_of_breathing

    The normal relaxed state of the lung and chest is partially empty. Further exhalation requires muscular work. Inhalation is an active process requiring work. [4] Some of this work is to overcome frictional resistance to flow, and part is used to deform elastic tissues, and is stored as potential energy, which is recovered during the passive process of exhalation, Tidal breathing is breathing ...

  8. High-frequency ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-frequency_ventilation

    The set frequency is displayed on a digital meter on the face of the ventilator. One Hertz is (-/+5%) equal to 1 breath per second, or 60 breaths per minute (e.g., 10 Hz = 600 breaths per minute). Changes in frequency are inversely proportional to the amplitude and thus delivered tidal volume. Breaths per minute (f)
