3. If a patients vital capacity is 4800mL, their inspiratory volume is 3000mL, their tidal volume is 500mL, and their residual volume = 1000mL, what is their expiratory reserve volume?
Added by James T.
Step 1
The vital capacity (VC) is the total amount of air that can be exhaled after a maximum inhalation. It is the sum of the inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), tidal volume (TV), and expiratory reserve volume (ERV). Show more…
