When giving rescue breaths to a child you should give 1 breath about?
A rescue breath should be given over a period of 1 second.
How many seconds is given in each breath when performing a rescue breathing?
Each breath should last approximately 1 second.
How many initial rescue breaths should be given for a child or infant?
Five initial rescue breaths are given to children and infants. This aids in oxygenating the blood to stimulate breathing prior to beginning chest compressions.
Why is it 15 compressions with 2 rescuers on infants?
It isn't, and this is in fact incorrect.The correct procedure for infants and children is to start with 5 rescue breaths before chest compressions are even given. Once the 5 rescue breaths have been given the normal ratio of chest compressions to rescue breaths should be given (30/2).It should also be noted that the depth should be changed to a third of the depth of an adult for child and infant casualties. And of course child-1 hand, infant-2 fingers.
Do you start CPR with compressions?
If the casualty is an adult then start with compressions. If the casualty is an adult, but has come out of water then 5 rescue breaths should be given before the usual 30/2 is given. If the casualty is a child or infant out of water or not you should start with 5 rescue breaths then continue with the usual 30/2.
How long should you give rescue breath?

When should Rescue breathing be given to an infant?
* If he is unconscious. * If breathing is at an abnormal rate (higher or lower than the proper rate).
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.
Why do you not give large breaths during rescue breathing?
That question is not fully correct. When doing mouth to mouth rescue breaths, it is important to inflate the chest completely by blowing a strong breath into the patients mouth. In an infant or child, you are advised not to take a full breath in because any excess air goes to the stomach and is regurgitated in the form of vomit. If you are sufficiently trained to use a device that replaces rescue breathing (known as a bag-mask) be careful not to squeeze the bag fully as any excess air will travel down to the stomach and the patients stomach contents will be expelled through the mouth. This is not only unpleasant, it poses an airway obstruction threat. In summary, inflate the patient's chest fully and wait for it to rise down between each breath. You should only allocated a maximum of three seconds for theo two breaths before going back to chest compressions. Compressions are more important than rescue breathing.
In cpr if the airway is open and the patient was given rescue breaths and the air is not goin in?
In CPR, if the airway is open and the patient was given rescue breaths and the air is not going in, there may be something lodged in the patients throat, and the Heimlich maneuver should be performed.
Does a child should be given freedom unlimited if yes why and if no why?
no a child should not be give freedom limited because it can take her/his father in court.
When giving rescue breaths to a child how many breaths should be given?
When giving rescue breaths to a child, you should give 1 breath about every 3 seconds. For CPR, the ratio is 30:2 which means for every 30 chest compressions you will give 2 rescue breaths (ventilations).
