Pulmonary ventilation as the product of tidal volume and ventilation rate.

Tidal volume is the amount of air breathed in. Measured in decemeters cubed.

Ventilation rate is the number of breaths taken in one minute. Measured in minutes to the power of -1.

If you times these two things together you get a measure of pulmonary ventilation in dm3min-1.
