Minit Volume

Tidal Volume 6-8 mL/Kg
Jika Tidal Volume 300, maka 300 x 12 = 3600.. bahagikan dgn 1000 = 3.6 MV...

Respiratory minute volume (or minute ventilation or expired minute volume) is thevolume of gas inhaled (inhaled minute volume) or exhaled (exhaled minute volume) from a person's lungs per minute. It is an important parameter in respiratory medicine due to its relationship with blood carbon dioxide levels.

A common question that arises while studying respiratory physiology is what is minute ventilation and minute volume. The minute ventilation is the amount of air a person breaths in a minute. The minute ventilation is calculated by the multiplication of the tidal volume and the respiratory rate.

What is minute ventilation? The normal tidal volume of a person is around 8- 10 ml per kg of weight. That is for a 70 kg person the tidal volume would be 700 ml. The tidal volume is actually the amount of air a person takes during each breath at rest. The normal respiratory rate is about 14- 18 breaths per minute. Hence, Minute ventilation = Tidal Volume  X Respiratory rate.

So what is minute ventilation of a 70kg person. Minute ventilation for a 70 kg person would be 700 X 15 which would be approximately 10500ml. A person requires a minimum of 6 to 8 litres of minute volume for the proper oxygenation of the tissues and the removal of carbon dioxide from the lungs. The minute volume increases at times of stress and exercise. This increase compensates for the increase in the demand of oxygen and the increased production of Carbon dioxide.
