What should you do if the chest does not clearly rise when the 2 rescue breaths?

1. You resusci-breathing is being blocked by an obstruction in the airway. 2. The air you're breathing into the patient is not inflating the lungs but is going elsewhere (e.g. an esophageal tear dumping air into the chest cavity). 3. The chest is restricted from rising (seat belts if you're breathing someone in a wreck can sometimes do this). 4. You have not sufficiently hyperextended the airway. (see bockage above).

When giving CPR to an infant do you give cycles of 30 chest compression and 2 rescue breaths?
You are correct; 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths.
When should you give rescue breathing?
If your are not trained in CPR or rescue breathing then you should not be giving rescue breaths as you can injure the victim. The lay rescuer should only provide compressions at a rate of 100 compressions per minute. AHA provides courses to learn CPR/ rescue breathing which are very beneficial.

What are signs of circulation after giving rescue breaths to infant?
Normal breathing
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.
What is the compression to rescue breath ratio for?
the guidelines for adults, children and infants is 30 chest compressions to 2 rescue breaths.
When do you give rescue breaths to a victum?

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.
What is the ratio of chest compressions and rescue breaths during child CPR when there are multiple rescuers?
