What do adult and infant CPR have in common?
For both adult and child CPR with one rescuer, perform 30 compression to every 2 breaths. Also, you want to ensure that you are doing 100 repetitions per minute in both adult and child CPR. Perform reevaluations after every 2 minutes by checking the pulse of the victim and check for breathing.
When giving rescue breaths to an infant you should give 1 breath every how many seconds?
The standard when the heart has stopped is to first blow twice then press the heart 30 times in 15 seconds (twice per second), then blow two times, and repeat with 30 compressions. The two important things are: Remember that the heart-rate of infants is high, thus the quick pressing on the chest and remember not to inflate with more air than a mouthful. You may check this with your hand. If you breath in too much, a lung could rupture or the stomach is filled with air.
What ratio should a lone rescuer use when he performs CPR?
30 pushes (also called compressions) and 2 breaths for an Adult, Infant, or Child.
