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.

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.=

How often are breaths given in reap arrest?

In a respiratory arrest, breaths should be given every 5 to 6 seconds if using a bag-mask ventilation technique, which equates to about 10 to 12 breaths per minute. If performing rescue breathing without advanced equipment, the same rate applies. It's essential to ensure proper airway positioning and seal to deliver effective breaths. Always assess the patient’s response and adjust your actions accordingly.
