Breathing in and out might seem simple — but when it comes to ventilation, there’s a lot more going on beneath the surface. In this episode of Clinical Adventurer, we break down the fundamentals of ventilation, including how to calculate minute ventilation (VE) and why it matters. You’ll learn how physiologic dead space complicates the numbers and why understanding this is critical for accurately assessing your patient’s respiratory status. If you’re ready to move beyond the basics of airflow and get clear on the real mechanics of breathing, this is the episode for you.
