How many breaths per second after you open the airway for unresponsive child or adult?

An adult who shows signs of life should NOT be given cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). CPR should only be given when all signs of life are absent.
CPR should be given if the patient has the following:
1. Does not have a pulse.
2. Breathing is not present.
3. Is not moving.
Common sense should be used when administering CPR. Patients who are incompatible with life (i.e. full decapitation) should not be administered CPR. Focus on other patients who may have a bigger chance of survival.

After you open the airway and pinch the nose of an unresponsive adult or child what do you do?
When you open the airway, don't pinch the nose. Check for breathing and signs of life. If no breathing or signs of life, then pinch the nose and give 2 breaths. Only pinch the nose while giving breaths.
What should you do after performing chest compressions on an unresponsive adult with airway obstruction?
After the compressions, look in the mouth and if you see the object, sweep it out. If not, attempt to ventilate again; if breaths don't go in, repeat: compressions, look, sweep if object seen, and attempt to ventilate.
What would be the next step with an unresponsive victim with agonal gasps and EMS has been called?
Open the airway and check for breathing (signs of life; look, listen & feel); if not breathing give two breaths then start CPR.
Next step when you find unresponsive victim who has agonal gasps?
Tip the head to open the airway. Check for signs of life (look, listen, feel for breathing & movement). Since agonal gasps fails the breathing criteria, you would immediately begin CPR for an adult.
You must check adequate breathing before giving rescue breaths to an unresponsive adult victim?
Yes, if a person is already breathing there is no reason why you would need to breathe for them.
