What s the difference between rescue breathing and CPR?
During CPR, the chest compressions are applied; during rescue breathing there are no chest compressions used.
Over inflating the lungs during rescue breathing may cause?
Over inflating the lungs during rescue breathing can cause several complications, including barotrauma, which is damage to the lung tissue due to excessive pressure. It may also lead to gastric inflation, increasing the risk of aspiration if the stomach contents are pushed into the airway. Additionally, over-inflation can reduce the effectiveness of ventilation, as it may impair the natural movement of the diaphragm and lungs. Proper technique is crucial to ensure effective and safe rescue breathing.
What is the purpose of rescue breathing?
When a person has stopped breathing and can not breathe on his own, rescue breathing (or Mouth-To-Mouth Resuscitation) is given to try and saved the persons live (in addition to CPR and/or defibrilation).
How often do you stop and check for life during CPR?

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.
Three causes of collapse for which rescue breathing may be needed?
Causes of collapse for which rescue breathing may be needed are anaphylactic shock, heart attack, and poisoning.
What will you do to prevent performing CPR on victim that has only fainted?
Check to see if they have a pulse, or are breathing. If they have both, no CPR is needed. If they have a pulse but aren't breathing, you can perform rescue breathing only without chest compressions. If they do not have a pulse and aren't breathing, you perform rescue breathing and chest compressions.
