Check for signs of life when performing rescue breathing on a child every 2 minutes.
Every two minutes.
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.
You should check for signs of life every two minutes while performing rescue breathing on an adult or child
Adult: Tip head & check for breathing. If no breathing, give 2 breaths & start CPR 30 compressions/2 breaths. Infant & Child: Tip head & check for breathing. If no breathing, give 2 breaths. Check pulse (Infant brachial, child carotid). If no pulse start CPR 30 compressions/2 breaths.
Check for signs of life about every 2 minutes.
The current child CPR is cycles of 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
30:2
For an Adult, if there are no signs of life, immediately go to CPR. For an Infant or Child, if there is no breathing, but a pulse start rescue breathing; 1 breath every 3 seconds.
