Frequently Asked Questions
Tidal volume is the amount of air delivered to the lungs during mechanical ventilation, typically calculated as 6 mL per kilogram of ideal body weight.
For males: IBW = 50 + 0.91 × (height in cm - 152.4). For females: IBW = 45.5 + 0.91 × (height in cm - 152.4).
If BMI is greater than 25, an adjusted body weight is used to account for obesity, providing a more accurate tidal volume.
