During 2 rescuer CPR one rescuer provides chest compressions. What is the role of the second rescuer?
Maintain an open airway and give breaths.
How you and a second rescuer can give CPR to an infant victim together using the 2-thumbs encircling hands technique?
For two rescuer infant CPR; one rescuer should give the breaths, the other rescuer performs compressions using the 2 thumbs encircling hands technique. Give cycles of 15 compressions and 2 breaths.
How you and a second rescuer can give CPR to an adult victim together?
One rescuer will give 30 compressions and the other rescuer will give 2 breaths. When the rescuer giving compressions gets tires and wants to change, on the last compression instead of saying 30 he/she says change. The 2 breaths are given, the rescuers stay on the same side of the patient, and move positions for the change. CPR then continues with the 30 compressions, then 2 breaths repeated until the next change is called for.
How many compressions you need to give when you're giving CPR?
When two rescuers are preforming CPR on a child, the compression to breath ratio is 15:2. That is 15 compressions 1-1.5" deep at a rate of 100 compressions a min. Each rescue breath should last about one second and make the chest clearly rise. The cycle is then repeated, fifteen compressions and two breaths. The rescuers should change positions about every 2min or about 10 cycles.
How many breaths per minute cpr?
The 2010 American Heart Association emphasis is on chest compressions, rather than breathing. In other words, a lay rescuer may not give any breaths at all concentrating instead on compressions.For a trained lay rescuer, the compressions and breaths should be provided in a ratio of 30 compressions to 2 breaths.Ventilations with advanced airway (HCP):1 breath every 6-8 seconds (8-10 breaths/min)Asynchronous with chest compressionsAbout 1 second per breathVisible chest rise
What is the recommend depth of chest compressions for an infant?
Compressions on an infant should be performed either with you hands wrapped around the baby, pushing your thumbs into the lower half of the sternum, but not the very bottom of it, or with the baby lying flat on it's back, using your index and middle finger in the same location. Depth should be 1/3 the total thickness of the infant's chest, or about 1 1/2 inches. If alone, give 2 rescue breaths after every 30 compressions at a rate of 100 per minute, being sure to cover the infant's mouth AND nose with your mouth. If you have a second rescuer, have them give 2 rescue breaths after every 15 compressions. Have the 2nd rescuer call 911 before assisting you with CPR.

Do you stop CPR when the second rescuer checks the infants pulse?
Yes you do.
What is the ratio for doing CPR on a child?
These are the most recent PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) Guidelines: When there is only one rescuer, which is often the case in CPR done outside the hospital, the chest compression to rescue breaths ratio is 30:2 (30 chest compressions, 2 breaths) just like it is for an adult. When there are two rescuers, as in, one person that can do compressions and one that can do breaths, the ratio changes to 15:2. In a hospital setting, when the infant or child is intubated (breathing tube down the throat), chest compressions are done continuously without interruption, while another provider at the same time gives rescue breaths with an ambu-bag down the breathing tube, at a rate of one breath every 6 to 8 seconds. This last method would only ever be done by health care providers.
How many seconds should the breath be during adult CPR?
CPR for a infant is the same as a adult now; 30 compressions to 2 breaths (compressions given at a rate of 100 compressions per min). Each cycle of 30 compressions / 2 breaths should take 24 seconds.
What is ratio of chest compressions to respiration?
Well if you are counting compressions for an adult 5 to 1 for a child 10 to 1. That would be 5 compressions to 1 breath, 10 compressions to 1 breath. Some times the count is broken into groups, but the standards change every second year for some reason. I was trained to do adults 5~1 children 10~1 infants 15~1 Saint John's Ambulance 2005
What is the frequency of a sound wave that has thirty compressions in one second?
The frequency is 30 per second, or 30 'Hertz'.
