If the child has stopped breathing and has no pulse American Heart Association CPR states 30 compressions for every 2 breaths for a child ages 1 years of age to Puberty.

If the child has stopped breathing, you want to make sure that there is no pulse before starting CPR. If a pulse is still present, check to see if there are any visible airway obstructions first (toys, foreign objects), if so safely remove object, do not blindly stick finger down child throat, if not give assisted ventilations.

2010 AHA guidelines now require at least 100 compressions per minute, however you can do more. The best option is 100-120 compressions per minute. It is the same for infants children and adults.

30 compression to 2 breaths. (= 1 cycle)

Approx 5 cycles per 2 min

= 75 compressions/min and 5 breaths/min average

=300 compressions & 20 breaths.

Knowing that the compression speed is 100/min (so would be 400) but that there is a break for breaths, this seems reasonable.
