when CPR is being done on somone, it depend how long you have to wait in between depending on who and what age the person that CPR is being done on. if it is babies then 5 cycles of 10 chest compressions and have 2 minutes interupption. if it is the child the interuption should be about the same. if it is an adult the interuption should be about 1 minute as they are more fragile and need air and the heart to be pumped more often as it has to work harder.
hope this helps you.

∙ 14y agoThe chest compressions should be in a smooth up and down motion, never removing the hands except to do the breaths. So there should be no time between each chest compression as when the chest peaks to the expanded position, you immediately compress it down again.

What is the maximum amount of time to check for pulse?
What is the recommended depth of chest compressions for an adult victI’m?
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.
When would you start chest compression's in an unresponsive victim?
That depends...if you happen upon an unresponsive victim, you need to check to see if they are breathing and if they have a pulse first. Look, listen, and feel for 10-15 seconds. If they are pulseless and apneic (not breathing) you should perform chest compressions and rescue breathing immediately, at a ratio of 30 compressions to 2 breaths, @ 100 compressions/minute. If they do have a pulse, but are apneic, perform rescue breathing only, @ 1 breath every 5 seconds. If you are alone and happen upon an "un-witnessed" collapse and you don't know how long they've been down, do CPR for 2 minutes, and then try to go for help. If the collapse is "witnessed", call for help first, then begin CPR. Source: Emergency Medical Technician
Over what period of time should a rescue breath be given to an adult?
Rescue breaths are no longer generally in use. Rapid chest-pressure respiration is now recommended as being more effective. But, if it turns out that you must do rescue breathing, blow a breath of air into the victim until her chest raises 2 inches or so, then immediately let the air out. If you meant for how long to keep doing rescue breathing, you only stop when the victim starts breathing on his own, or you are just too exhausted to continue.
How long should you check for breathing?
If you're doing CPR on your own - You would perform two inflations, followed by 5 chest compressions - then check for vital signs. Repeat the actions until the patient is breathing on their own.
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 is the rescuer positioned when performing compressions?
You will be perpendicular to the long axis of the body; e.g. on the side of the patient.
How long does it take for THC to get out of a ten month old baby?
THC should never be in a ten month old baby. Although it has shown to cause few long term problems for adults. Studies show it can interrupt brain development.
How long are you contagious with a chest cold?
A person is contagious with a chest cold for about 2 weeks. A doctor can give you medicine to help you get rid of the chest cold.
How does CPR work?
You would see the chest rise during breaths, which would ensure air is getting into the lungs. During compressions, someone could check the carotid artery to ensure blood is being circulated.
