How often are rescue breaths given during CPR?

Who can do CPR?
Use CPR when there are no signs of life. For an Adult, look, listen and feel for breathing. If there is no breathing, give 2 breaths and start CPR. For an Infant and Child, after checking for breathing and there is no breathing, check for a pulse. If there is no pulse, start CPR.
