Calculate the inspiratory capacity given the following information Tidalvolume = 500 mls, vital capacity = 5000mls expiratory reserve volume =1,000 m/s
6,500 mls 4,000 mls
500 mls
3.500 mls
1,500 mls
The inspiratory capacity can be calculated by adding the tidal volume (500 mls) and the inspiratory reserve volume, which can be found by subtracting the expiratory reserve volume (1000 mls) from the vital capacity (5000 mls):
Inspiratory reserve volume = Vital capacity - Expiratory reserve volume
Inspiratory reserve volume = 5000 mls - 1000 mls
Inspiratory reserve volume = 4000 mls
Inspiratory capacity = Tidal volume + Inspiratory reserve volume
Inspiratory capacity = 500 mls + 4000 mls
Inspiratory capacity = 4500 mls
Therefore, the inspiratory capacity is 4500 mls.
To calculate the inspiratory capacity, you need to add the tidal volume and the inspiratory reserve volume. The inspiratory reserve volume is calculated by subtracting the tidal volume from the vital capacity.
Given the information:
Tidal volume = 500 mL
Vital capacity = 5000 mL
Expiratory reserve volume = 1000 mL
1. Calculate the Inspiratory reserve volume:
Inspiratory reserve volume = Vital capacity - Tidal volume
Inspiratory reserve volume = 5000 mL - 500 mL
Inspiratory reserve volume = 4500 mL
2. Calculate the Inspiratory capacity:
Inspiratory capacity = Tidal volume + Inspiratory reserve volume
Inspiratory capacity = 500 mL + 4500 mL
Inspiratory capacity = 5000 mL
Therefore, the inspiratory capacity is 5000 mL.
