Minute ventilation represents the sum ofexhaled tidal volumes over a period of one minute. VE = VT x f; where VE is minute ventilation (the V should have a dot over it), VT is tidal volume, and f is frequency (respiratory rate).

How can you measure lung volume?
Respiratory volume or respiratory minute volume is the volume of air which can be inhaled or exhaled from a person's lung in one minute.It is normally consider when a person on a ventilator for breathing problem due to sickness or injury. It is calculated by taking the tidal volume( or lung volume ) and multiplying it by the respiratory rate( the number of breaths per minute a person is taking).
What happen to the lung volumes and capacities during heavy exercise?
Pulmonary ventilation is 6 liters/minute in resting individual. You have a respiratory rate of 12/minute and tidal volume of 500 ml/minute. During heavy exercise tidal volume increases from 10 % of vital capacity to about 50 % of vital capacity. And respiratory rate increases from 12 to about 40 to 45/ minute. Thus increasing the pulmonary ventilation to about 100 liter/minute.
How does minute volume increase with exercise?
The minute respiratory volume also increases from the normal to support high metabolic rate.this leads to more production of carbon dioxide and its concentration in blood will increase.increased breathing will speed the loss of carbon dioxide to maintain a normal Ph.
What is the equation to measure lung volume?
No equation is possible, lung volume is measured by a machine in to which you breath.
Does emphysema decrease respiratory volume?
yes
How do you calculate minute respiratory volume?
Tidal Volume x Respiratory Rate
Affects of exercise on respiratory minute volume?
Respiratory minute volume refers to the volume of breath per minute. During exercise, this amount increases up to 20 to 30 times the normal value. Exercising regularly improves lung performance and makes breathing easier.
What is minute ventilation?
the amount of air breathed in 1 minute. Minute Ventilation = Tidal Volume x Respiratory Rate

It is calculated by taking the tidal volume( or lung volume ) and multiplying it by the respiratory rate( the number of breaths per minute a person is taking).
What causes low minute volume alarms?
A change in respiratory rate or tidal volume.... meaning, respiratory rate decreases, maybe becomes apneic, or the tidal volume decreases...or maybe BOTH. Also, a circuit disconnect!
What is the alveolar volume of a patient with a tidal volume of 400ml and a respiratory rate of 14 breaths per min?
7.7 breaths per minute
Why respiratory minute volume does not represent all air that reaches the alveolar surface?
Due to the presence of dead space
What happen to the lung volumes and capacities during heavy exercise?
Pulmonary ventilation is 6 liters/minute in resting individual. You have a respiratory rate of 12/minute and tidal volume of 500 ml/minute. During heavy exercise tidal volume increases from 10 % of vital capacity to about 50 % of vital capacity. And respiratory rate increases from 12 to about 40 to 45/ minute. Thus increasing the pulmonary ventilation to about 100 liter/minute.
How do you get a rapid shallow breathing index?
You take the patients Respiratory Rate and divide it by the tidal volume averaged over 1 minute.
How does minute volume increase with exercise?
The minute respiratory volume also increases from the normal to support high metabolic rate.this leads to more production of carbon dioxide and its concentration in blood will increase.increased breathing will speed the loss of carbon dioxide to maintain a normal Ph.
How do i increase respiratory minute volume?
in order to increase the amount air moving through the lungs every minute, you need to perform some sort of acute exercise which will also increase your breathing rate and heart rate.
Increase in minute ventilation?
The volume of air inspired into or expired out of the lungs in 1 min. It usually refers to the expired amount and can be calculated using the following equation: VE = VT × f, where VE represents the minute ventilation in litres (l−1) per minute, VT represents tidal volume in litres, and f represents respiratory frequency in breaths per minute. A typical resting value of minute ventilation is 6 l min−1, but it may rise to as much as 180 l min−1 during intense exercise. The change in minute ventilation has been used to identify the anaerobic threshold .edited By Drake Miah
