My most recent trainer told us to do one breath with every twenty compressions (pumps) for adults, and one with every ten pumps for children or other persons under 100lbs. If you have a smaller lung capacity, for any reason, change the above numbers to one breath per ten and five pumps, respectively.

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.
Is it proper to do bagging while doing chest compression?
Yes; if you are doing compressions breaths should be given as well.
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 each rescue breath last and how much time between breaths?
3 breaths for children, 5 breaths for adults.
How many rescue breaths are given to an infant in 2 minutes?
none.
How long should the initial breaths last for?
Rescue breaths are typically a full second in length.
What rate should compressions be given when performing one person CPR?
Perform CPR 30 compressions, 2 breaths; rate of compressions is 100/minute.
Is an example of an abiotic factor for a given animal?
The air it breaths
What should you do if your two breaths do not go in to the victim?
Push his chest or his belly down hard till he finally breaths
If your patient has a pulse but is not breathing how often should you give rescue breaths?
8-10 breaths/min for adults12-20 breaths/min for pediatrics
How many breaths per second after you open the airway for unresponsive child or adult?
An adult who shows signs of life should NOT be given cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). CPR should only be given when all signs of life are absent. CPR should be given if the patient has the following: 1. Does not have a pulse. 2. Breathing is not present. 3. Is not moving. Common sense should be used when administering CPR. Patients who are incompatible with life (i.e. full decapitation) should not be administered CPR. Focus on other patients who may have a bigger chance of survival.
