I think that the VC/TV ratio would show me the speed of my inhalation from the minimum to the maximum and exhalation from the maximum to the minimum. According to (table 5), I got 10.2 for this ratio of mine, which is good since it is in the expected range; at least 10. Not only that this is good, but I was able to know that I did everything correctly. Although there might have been some minor issues, yet, at the bottom line, it didn’t affect me much as of the final result.

The inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) indicates the maximal amount of additional air that can be drawn into the lungs by determined effort after normal inspiration, whereas the expiratory reserve volume (ERV) represents the additional amount of air that can be expired

    As vasoconstriction increases due to increased pulmonary vascular resistance hypoxia occurs and eventually respiratory acidosis and is monitored through arterial blood gases (Kuhajda et al., 2014). Upon examination patient appears to be in respiratory distress - gasping for air and tracheal deviation as the lung space has decreased and pressures continue to rise, neck vein distention due to altered cardiac output, cyanosis and agitation set in as time goes on due to hypoxia and the increasing difficulty to breath (Crimlisk, 2010). Palpation reveals subcutaneous emphysema as air is trapped within the tissues. Upon listening to the patients chest there is reduced air entry and percussion reveals hyperresonance (Kuhajda et al., 2014).
