Excellent.. thank you. I've not seen that.
Can anyone define the term: Tidal Volume?

From the Apnea Board Wiki Definitions page (
here):
Tidal Volume - The amount of air that passes in and out of the lungs in an ordinary breath. Usually expressed in liters.

The only thing I wish, is besides a 'definition', there would also be more info like - more is better - or, an average person has a VT of XX - or - something to explain how to use this data item - is less better, is more better? Does this make sense?
I've read the entire list, and on many data points I find myself asking these types of questions, so wouldn't more info be a good thing?

RE: BiLevel titration study
I agree with PeterC. Having some indication of a target value would make the definitions much more useful to those seeking knowledge.
RE: BiLevel titration study
We're always looking for new Wiki Editors who can help expand the Wiki articles with info like that.
Read this thread for more info if you're interested:

Kind of hard to edit something you do not understand and/or are not knowledgeable about - hence my suggestion

Agreed. I don't totally understand it myself; perhaps someone here does who might offer a full explanation that can be included in a Wiki article.

Now that you're a Wiki Editor, Peter.. if you or someone else wants to create an article on Tidal Volume, that might be a good thing. The
Definitions & Glossary Wiki Page isn't intended to be a complete article on any one subject - it's only a short definition. So the way to go is probably to create a new Wiki article on Tidal Volume perhaps.
Just a thought.
