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.

For a professional person, they would perform rescue breathing with a pulse and CPR without a pulse.
