Does emphysema decrease tidal volume?

yes tidal volume decreases because the patient is not able to inhale and exhale normally. The victims lungs are expanded and it fills the chest before full volume of air can be inhaled. When the victim exhales, he is not able to fully do so because of the higher residual volume in his lungs.
