Do You will only use rescue breathing if the person is unconscious and does not have a pulse?
Rescue breathing is typically used when a person is unconscious and not breathing adequately or at all, regardless of whether they have a pulse. If the person has a pulse but is not breathing, rescue breaths can help provide oxygen to their lungs. However, if there is no pulse, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) should be initiated, which includes chest compressions along with rescue breaths if trained to do so. Always prioritize calling emergency services in such situations.

What are the differences in CPR for an unconscious adult with a pulse and an unconscious adult without a pulse?
CPR for the lay person, denoted just CPR, there is no longer a pulse check for an adult, so once CPR is started, it will be continued unless the person begins to show signs of life. In CPR-FPR (CPR for the Professional Rescuer) there is still a circulation check, so RB at 1 breath / 5 seconds is part of that certification. To specifically answer your question, most people would do CPR and not check for a pulse on an adult, because it is not part of the curriculum. For a professional person, they would perform rescue breathing with a pulse and CPR without a pulse.
