I believe the legal requirements are to give CPR as you were taught; no more & no less. I understand some teach hands only CPR and if you know and are certified in that technique, then use it. As a professional rescuer, it is not allowed.

When do you give someone Rescue Breaths compared to Cardio Pulmonary?

Rescue breathing is given to a patient in respiratory arrest but still has a strong pulse. =Often, in my experience, it's infants that go into respiratory arrest rather than heart failure because their little hearts want to beat - they don't have the problems that adults do that puts strain on the heart like stress, obecity and cholesterol.==Rescue breathing for adults, (8 years and up) - 1 breath every 5 seconds.==Rescue breathing for children, (1 - 8 years) - 1 breath every 3 seconds.==Rescue breathing for infants, (1 - 12 months) - 1 puff every 3 seconds.=

Is The correct CPR sequence for evaluation is CirculationChest Compression Opening Airway and rescue Breaths (CAB)?

The correct CPR sequence for adult victims is actually "CAB," which stands for Circulation (chest compressions), Airway, and Breaths. This emphasizes the importance of starting with chest compressions to maintain blood circulation before addressing the airway and delivering rescue breaths. For infants and children, the sequence may vary slightly, often starting with airway assessment. Always ensure to call for emergency assistance before beginning CPR.


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.


How often do you stop and check for life during CPR?

after 5 repetitions of alternatively rescue breathing and compressions.
