Tidalvolym
Tidalvolym, or tidal volume, is the amount of air that is inhaled or exhaled during a normal, resting breath. It is usually expressed in milliliters (ml) or liters (L) and is one of the primary measurements in pulmonary physiology. In healthy adults at rest, the tidal volume is typically about 0.5 liters, commonly stated as 6–8 ml per kilogram of body weight. The exact value varies with body size, age, sex, and cardiorespiratory status.
Tidal volume is a component of minute ventilation, which is the total amount of air moved in
In clinical practice, tidal volume is a key parameter in mechanical ventilation. Modern practice emphasizes lung-protective
