If Mary has a tidal volume of 500 ml, an inspiratory capacity of 3,600 ml, and a vital capacity of 4,800 mls What is her inspiratory reserve volume?
To calculate the inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) of Mary, we need to use the following formula:
IRV = inspiratory capacity - tidal volume
IRV = 3,600 ml - 500 ml
IRV = 3,100 ml
Therefore, Mary's inspiratory reserve volume is 3,100 ml.
To find the inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), we can use the equation:
IRV = Inspiratory Capacity - Tidal Volume
Given:
Tidal Volume = 500 ml
Inspiratory Capacity = 3,600 ml
Let's substitute the values:
IRV = 3,600 ml - 500 ml
IRV = 3,100 ml
Therefore, Mary's inspiratory reserve volume is 3,100 ml.
