Minute ventilation is calculated as the respiratory rate (breaths per minute) multiplied by the tidal volume (the volume of air moved in or out during a single breath). Assuming a typical tidal volume of 500 mL (or 0.5 L) and a respiratory rate of 12 breaths/min, the minute ventilation would be 12 breaths/min * 0.5 L/breath = 6 L/min.
