Calculate the Alveolar ventilation per minute of a patient with respiratory rate 14/min, tidal volume of 500 ml with a vital capacity 7000 ml

A
4900 ml
B
2000 ml
C
7700 ml
D
7000 ml
High-Yield Explanation
Alveolar ventilation= Respiratory rate X (Tidal volume – Dead space) Respiratory rate provided in question- 14 per minute Tidal Volume- 500ml Dead Space- 150 ml  AV= 14 (500-150)= 14 X 350 = 4900ml/min = 4.9 L/min
