L13 Pulmonary Function II
- Great introduction to Pulmonary flow studies.
- Automatically calculates values for FEV and MVV.
- Uses a clinical grid for easy interpretation of the data.
Experimental Objectives
-
To observe experimentally, record and/or calculate forced expiratory volume (FEV) and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV).
-
To compare the observed values of FEV with predicted normals.
-
To compare MVV values with others in your class.
Tasks Performed by the Student
BSL Lessons are designed to allow at least four students to record and save data in a normal lab period (60-90 minutes). Typically, labs work most efficiently with three or more students working together at each BSL station.
- Record airflow.
- Breathe normally for three complete respiratory cycles.
- Inhale as deeply as they can and hold their breath for an instant.
- Exhale as quickly and completely as they can.
- Resume normal breathing for three cycles.
- Breathe normally for five complete cycles.
- Breathe quickly and deeply for 12-15 seconds.
- Return to normal breathing for 5 more cycles.
