How are the conditions for performing CPR recognized?
Conditions for performing CPR vary slightly from Adult to Children/Infant. Both are termed no signs of life. When no signs of life are present, CPR is initiated. Adult: Tip head & check for breathing & chest rising & falling (called look, listen, feel) for 10 seconds. If no signs of life are present, give 2 breaths and start performing CPR. Infant & Child: Same starting as an Adult; look listen & feel for breathing for 10 seconds. If no breathing, give 2 breaths. Then do a pulse / breathing check for 10 seconds. If no pulse and no breathing (signs of life), start performing CPR. CPR for Adult, Child, Infant is 30 compressions / 2 breaths. Always remember to have someone call EMS; even if you need to make the call yourself.
What should you observe when trying to determine if rescue breaths for infant victim are effective?
Cover the mouth AND nose of the infant with your mouth. Blow in a gentle breath. Remember to kept the baby's head at a neutral position as to not overstretch the trachea. Call for help if you have not already done so. Do the breaths with compressions just like an adult except with two fingers on the chest only.

How often do you give rescue breaths when an infant is not breathing but has a pulse?
You do not check for signs of circulation as a first aider, if they are not breathing then you perform 30 compresions at a rate of 100/minute followed by 2 rescue breaths regardless of whether they have signs of circulation (In a chilld you would also perform 5 rescue breaths before you start CPR). this is because even if they have circulation, if they're not breathing then they won't have circulation for long and CPR will do less harm than thinking there are signs of circulation when there aren't and not performing CPR.
