A rescue breath should take about 1 second to inflate the casualty's lungs.

How often do you give rescue breaths when an infant is not breathing but has a pulse?
You do not check for signs of circulation as a first aider, if they are not breathing then you perform 30 compresions at a rate of 100/minute followed by 2 rescue breaths regardless of whether they have signs of circulation (In a chilld you would also perform 5 rescue breaths before you start CPR). this is because even if they have circulation, if they're not breathing then they won't have circulation for long and CPR will do less harm than thinking there are signs of circulation when there aren't and not performing CPR.
Over what period of time should a rescue breath be given to an adult?
Rescue breaths are no longer generally in use. Rapid chest-pressure respiration is now recommended as being more effective. But, if it turns out that you must do rescue breathing, blow a breath of air into the victim until her chest raises 2 inches or so, then immediately let the air out. If you meant for how long to keep doing rescue breathing, you only stop when the victim starts breathing on his own, or you are just too exhausted to continue.

Give the breath over a period of 1 second.You do this until you simply are to exhausted and unable to do it any longer.There is no time limit.You do this until proper help (rescuers) arrive.If person starts breathing by his own strength, then you stop, but you monitor until help arrives.If a person get only a little bit of oxygen all the time from you assisting breathing, then this can be worth gold when rescuers arrives.This prevents brain damage for one, and is the one main reason to carry on until rescuers arrive.Heart may have stopped too, so applying heart compression could be an addition to the situation.Learn how, it might be saving a life.
