You are asked to assess the alveolar ventilation for a patient weighing 65 kg (IBW) and receiving a Vt of 600 mL who is being mechanically ventilated. You are given the following blood gas results and data:ABG: pH 7.49/ PaCO2 30/ PaO2 100/ HCO3 26, PECO2 = 10 torr, f = 22 bpm (This is the same data used in the previous question.) Calculate the minute alveolar ventilation in Lpm.
