Minute ventilation is the product of tidal volume (the amount of air inhaled or exhaled in a single breath) and respiratory rate (the number of breaths taken per minute). Therefore, minute ventilation can be calculated using the formula: Minute Ventilation = Tidal Volume × Respiratory Rate. This relationship is crucial for understanding how effectively the lungs are ventilating and how much air is exchanged in a given timeframe, impacting overall respiratory efficiency.
