What is the normal respiratory rate for an child and what will be the first sign of respiratory distress?
Children have different breathing rates. I assume you're asking about resting breathing rate, so this is what I'll discuss. If the child is overweight or obese, the child's breathing rate will be faster and deeper in order to get a sufficient amount of oxygen to the body. If the child is asthmatic, or has a respiratory illness, they too may have deeper breathing at rest. Respiratory distress as you call it may be the child looking pale. They may struggle to breath (wheezing), or breath too often sharply (hyperventilation). You should tell a child who's having breathing difficulty to breathe at you're rate. If they look faint etc, call an ambulance immediately, and prepare to give emergency first aid if they fall unconscious( hypothetically speaking of course). If you believe your child has respiratory issues, see your local Doctor or GP.
When should CPR be started on a child?
Start CPR on a child when no breathing and no pulse is confirmed.
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.
