Remember:
Minute volume is the volume of air
you breathe in one minute.
You can calculate a person’s minute volume by multiplying
the volume of air they breathe in one breath, by their
respiratory (breathing) rate.
Question
If you breathe 14 times in one minute (respiratory rate)
and you breathe 0.5 litres in each breath, what is your
minute volume?
Answer:
Minute volume = 14 × 0.5 litres
= 7.0 litres
