WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
What the different volumes and capacities mean
How to set up the spirometer and powerlab for:Vital capacityForced Vital CapacityAsphyxiaHypercarbiaHypoxia
How to analyse results from these

LUNG VOLUMES/ CAPACITIES

VITAL CAPACITY
SET UP SPIROMETER Make sure soda lime is under
the bell Place the bell in Don’t need to attach one
way valves Attach disposable
mouthpiece Make tap vertical and
ventilate the spirometer (VErtical to VEntilate) = push right down and fill about 75% with air
Seal the spirometer - Horizontal ( check by blowing and air should come out of the side)

VITAL CAPACITY
Set up the computer: sampling rate to 20/S Scale amplitude to 1V Time base 1:1
WEAR NOSE CLIP!
Press start
Sit comfortably, breath and turn tap to vertical
VC = max inspiration and immediately max expiration (steady and complete)
Stop = few secs normal breathing , tap horizontal and stop the powerlab software

ANALYSING RESULTS
Draw a box around the VC Windows – Zoom Move ‘M’ to base of VC ( where just
about to breath out) Move cursor to peak of VC Read off the Volume in LITRES (directly
above the expanded trace) Return ‘M’ to its place ATPS BTPS

MEASURING FVC
Same as VC
BUT...
When inspiration reaches a peak BREATH OUT AS FAST AND HARD AS POSSIBLE AND CONTINUE FOR ~ 3secs
![Page 8: Spirometery](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546457b9b4af9f493f8b495b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ANALYSING FVC/ CALCULATING FEV1
Same as VC
BUT...
Place cursor on the plateau
FEV1 = this is done from the FVC recording, but only move cursor as far as 1 sec from the base. i.e t=1sec and then read off the volume
FEV1/FVC = percentage of air breathed out in first second

ASPHYXIA – O2 LACK WITH CO2 EXCESS
Same as VC
BUT... NO soda lime ADD one way
valves REMEMBER TO
SEAL THE SPIROMETER at the end
![Page 10: Spirometery](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546457b9b4af9f493f8b495b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
SAMPLING AND ANALYSING THE GASES
Draw 2 samples from the sampling point to discard – pinch the tubing to prevent air leaving spirometer
Third sample – close sampling tap, place thumb over syringe to seal this
Inject air into analyser – inject 2/3 and WAIT...then as value stabilises complete the injection (should be no more than 0.2% diff)
Rate of change (%/min) = final - initial/ duration of breathing

HYPERCARBIA- CO2 EXCESS
SAME as asphyxia
BUT... FILL WITH O2 (not air)
The tap near mouthpiece should be sealed Connect the o2 supply to oxygen inlet Fill to 75% TURN OFF SUPPLY FIRST Then close tap on spirometer
Analyse for CO2 only
![Page 12: Spirometery](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546457b9b4af9f493f8b495b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ANALYSING RESULTS
Measuring mean TV and Resp. Freq Draw box around recording Select data pad Click on grey box above column A Set up box will appear Mean tidal volume = cycle variables
and average peak to peak (cycle height). Press ok and answer will appear at the top of column
Resp freq = cycle variables; events count. Press okay the resp freq will appear at top of column
ALWAYS GIVE UNITS
Ventilation(L/min) = TV (L) x Resp freq (breaths/min)

HYPOXIA– O2 LACK
Exact same as VC so MAKE SURE SODA LIME IS PRESENT
BUT... Don’t refill with air Remember to ADD VALVES
![Page 14: Spirometery](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/546457b9b4af9f493f8b495b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SUMMARY
ADD ONE WAY VALVES FOR EXPERIMENTS ONLY
NO SODA LIME FOR ASPHYXIA AND HYPERCARBIA
FILL WITH O2 FOR HYPERCARBIA NO REFILLING IF WE WANT HYPOXIA
