A Higher Tidal Volume May Be Used for Athletes according to Measured FVC
We investigated whether professional athletes may require higher tidal volume (Tv) during mechanical ventilation hypothesizing that they have significantly higher “normal” lung volumes compared to what was predicted and to nonathletes. Measured and predicted spirometric values were recorded in both...
