No, vital capacity is the maximum volume a person can exhale after taking the deepest breath that they can
The volume not included in the vital capacity is the residual volume (RV). Residual volume is the amount of air that remains in the lungs after a maximal exhalation and cannot be voluntarily expelled. Vital capacity, which consists of tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, and expiratory reserve volume, measures the maximum amount of air a person can exhale after a deep breath, excluding the residual volume.
Pulmonary Ventilation(dmcubed/min) = Tidal Volume (dmcubed) X Ventilation Rate (min)
the dead space must also be factored in, so the equation would be: RR(tidal volume-dead space)
