health.ventilator-tidal-volume Calculator
Calculates lung-protective tidal volume for mechanical ventilation at 6 mL/kg ideal body weight, the ARDSNet standard. The ARDSNet trial demonstrated that 6 mL/kg IBW ventilation reduces mortality by 22% vs. 12 mL/kg — lung-protective ventilation is now the standard of care.
Inputs
Weight Kg
Body or object weight. For health calculators, usually in kg or lbs.
Target Ml Kg
Three-dimensional space occupied (m³ or L). 1 m³ = 1,000 L.
Respiratory Rate
Amount per unit of time or per unit quantity. Check the denominator before interpreting.
Peep Cmh2O
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Results
tidal volume VT (mL)
The computed three-dimensional volume.
minute ventilation VE (L/min)
The value at the specified point or condition.
lung protective range
The difference between the maximum and minimum values.
PEEP
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
I:E ratio
The proportional relationship between two quantities.
