Varied Tidal Volume
I live in the north east and my tidal volume is usually around 500. I am in Denver now and my tv has been running around 380. No changes were made at all, could it be due to the altitude? My respiration rate is the same.

RE: Varied Tidal Volume
Hello Yankees123. I just found this article.
The lung at high altitude | Multidisciplinary Respiratory Medicine | Full Text (biomedcentral.com) I saw a few other articles like this also. It basically says that respiration rate and tidal volume increase as a person enters high altitude in order to compensate for the lower oxygen concentration in the air. Not sure why yours would be lower.

RE: Varied Tidal Volume
No changes last night. Identical respiratory rate as when I am at home . Only change is tv is 380 instead of my usual 500.
Could it be a machine problem? No leaks also and have made no changes to my settings.
