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.

∙ 13y agoThe ratio of Cardiopulmonary resuscitation chest compressions to breaths is 30.2. Between every 30 chest compressions, deliver 2 rescue breaths. The rescue breath should be approximately 2 seconds between each other.
The only difference in adult and child CPR is that with a child, you begin with mouth to mouth before attempting chest compressions. Should the rescue breaths prove to be ineffective in reviving the child, start chest compressions.
Chest compressions should be 4-5 centimetres deep but in a should push own to half the depth of the chest. Make sure you let the chest rise between each compression.

When do you give someone Rescue Breaths compared to Cardio Pulmonary?
Rescue breathing is given to a patient in respiratory arrest but still has a strong pulse. =Often, in my experience, it's infants that go into respiratory arrest rather than heart failure because their little hearts want to beat - they don't have the problems that adults do that puts strain on the heart like stress, obecity and cholesterol.==Rescue breathing for adults, (8 years and up) - 1 breath every 5 seconds.==Rescue breathing for children, (1 - 8 years) - 1 breath every 3 seconds.==Rescue breathing for infants, (1 - 12 months) - 1 puff every 3 seconds.=
