Answer:

Rate and tidal volume

Explanation:

Tidal volume is the volume of air moved in or out of the lungs with each normal breath. A normal tidal volume is around 500 to 600 mL per inspiration and/or 6 to 7 mL per kilogram of body mass. An Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) should assess the respiratory rate (as well as rhythm and quality), having into account that a normal respiratory rate in an adult is 12 to 18 breaths per minute (BPM). Moreover, an appropriate tidal volume is also fundamental in assisting individuals in respiratory distress and arrest.
