How do you give CPR to victim?
See the related link for how to give CPR to an Adult, Child, or Infant. ECC 2005 standardized the ratio for the lay person to 30 compressions / 2 breaths for an Adult, Child, or Infant.
What are the differences in CPR for an unconscious adult with a pulse and an unconscious adult without a pulse?
CPR for the lay person, denoted just CPR, there is no longer a pulse check for an adult, so once CPR is started, it will be continued unless the person begins to show signs of life. In CPR-FPR (CPR for the Professional Rescuer) there is still a circulation check, so RB at 1 breath / 5 seconds is part of that certification. To specifically answer your question, most people would do CPR and not check for a pulse on an adult, because it is not part of the curriculum. For a professional person, they would perform rescue breathing with a pulse and CPR without a pulse.
How many cycles of CPR should you do before leave the victim to call 911?
If it's an adult, you should immediatly before CPR. If its a child, you should do CPR for 5 minutes and then call. It's approximately 2 Minutes for the infant or child. ~Jason, just passed his FirstAid/CPR Taining.
