Do athletes require a higher tidal volume? An approach using predicted versus measured PFTs

Authors: P Myrianthefs, G Baltopoulos

Excerpt

Tidal volume (Vt) for ALI/ARDS is 6 ml/kg. However, professional athletes have higher forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) than predicted for the same body weight and thus a higher Vt could be required. …
