- Explain why duration of breath-holding is affected by prior hyper-ventilation
After attending this practical, you should be able to
- Use a pneumotachograph to estimate tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, vital capacity, breathing rate and minute ventilation
- Use a Vitalograph to estimate vital capacity and calculate FEV1 and FER
- Use a peak flow meter to establish ventilatory peak flow
