Breathing with a pulse typically refers to the process of performing rescue breaths for a person in need of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) who still has a detectable heartbeat. In this situation, the rescuer should ensure the airway is open, then deliver 1 breath every 5 to 6 seconds while monitoring the pulse. It’s essential to continue checking for signs of life and to be prepared to perform chest compressions if the person's condition worsens. Always call emergency services immediately for professional assistance.
The breathing rate and pulse rate are related proportionally. If the breathing rate increases, so does the pulse rate. The pulse rate is an indication of the breathing rate.
Check for a pulse and breathing. No pulse, no breathing, give CPR.
For the condition of no breathing and no pulse, immediately commence CPR.
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.

Check the person's breathing and pulse; if they are not breathing or have no pulse, begin CPR. Do not touch the person until the source of electricity is completely turned off to avoid becoming a victim yourself.
