Final answer:
The correct parameters to calculate tidal volume are minute ventilation and respiratory rate, as tidal volume is the air volume inhaled during a single, normal breath.
Step-by-step explanation:
The parameters used to calculate tidal volume could be minute ventilation and respiratory rate. Tidal volume is the amount of air that enters the lungs during quiet breathing and is calculated by dividing the minute ventilation (the total volume of air breathed in a minute) by the respiratory rate (the number of breaths per minute).
Option B, which suggests using minute ventilation and respiratory rate, is therefore the correct answer. Alveolar ventilation, PECO2, PetCO2, and VD/VT are not directly used to calculate tidal volume but can relate to other aspects of pulmonary function.
