When giving rescue breaths to an infant you should give 1 breath every how many seconds?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

It's actually 2 breaths after every cycle of 15 chest compressions. But no more than 45 compressions in a 1 minute time frame (which means 3 cycles of 15 compressions and 6 total breaths).

You also have to push on their chest every 5 times. Trust me I'm a doctor.

Answer 3

For a child, pinch the nose with you thumb and index finger. you give 2 rescue breaths : 1 breath, one second hold. then you do your 2 breath, one second hold. Then proceed with 30 chest compressions.

if an infant, do the same, but cover the nose and mouth with your mouth. after the 2 rescue breaths proceed with 30 chest compressions.

For both child or infant do the cpr rescue breaths twice and after 2 minutes of cpr/rescue breath before calling 911 or unless there is a bystander have him/her call 911. after 911 is dispatched proceed again with the cpr/rescue breaths until 911 arrives, or the person(s) are conscious.

Remember for a child use one hand.

For an infant use just two fingers.
