Common mistakes in Lung volumes and capacities
Recorded against questions in this topic that are not shown above, so none of these points at an answer you can see on this page.
- Forgetting to include one of the three component volumes.
- Using tidal volume in the calculation even though it is not part of functional residual capacity.
- Confuses inspiratory capacity with vital capacity.
- Includes residual volume in vital capacity.
- Treats residual volume as a component already included in vital capacity.
