F4.ii · Pulmonary Gas Volumes

This VIVA will examine respiratory physiology and measurement. Explain how factors that vary between AND within healthy individuals can alter the Functional Residual Capacity (FRC)?

This viva will explore your understanding of respiratory physiology. How might the functional residual capacity change when you preoxygenate a patient with 100% oxygen in the supine position?

This viva will test your knowledge of respiratory physiology. What is functional residual capacity (FRC)?

This viva tested knowledge of respiratory physiology including lung volumes and changes with obesity. It then went on to discuss physiology of the lower oesophageal sphincter and gastric emptying .It went to cover the pharmacology of metoclopramide.

This viva tested knowledge of Respiratory Physiology. It discussed compliance, Functional Residual Capacity (FRC), Pressure Volume Loops and the work of breathing. It went on to discuss abdominal pressure, splanchnic blood flow and pharmacology of terlipressin.

This Viva tested knowledge on respiratory physiology. It explored the spirogram, aspects of functional residual capacity, closing volume, the effects of obesity on respiratory function and alterations in pharmacology.
