Answer:
Rate = 6,120 - 8,160 ml
Explanation:
Given:
Total mass = 85 kg
Per breath tidal volume = 6-8 ml/kg
Rate of breath = 12 breaths per minute
Find:
Breath rate tidal volume in 1 minute.
Computation:
Rate = Total mass × Per breath tidal volume × Rate of breath
Lower limit = 6
Lower rate = 85 × 6 × 12
Lower rate = 6,120 ml
Higher limit = 8
Higher rate = 85 × 8 × 12
Higher rate = 8,160 ml
Rate = 6,120 - 8,160 ml
