How do changes in flow rate and tidal volume affect I time, E time, and I:E ratio?
What will be an ideal response?
An increase in tidal volume and a decrease in flow rate increases I time, decreases E time, and decreases I:E ratio. A decrease in tidal volume and an increase in flow rate decreases I time, increases E time, and increases I:E ratio.
