What else can I help you with?
What will you do to prevent performing CPR on victim that has only fainted?
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.
Which should you see if you are performing rescue breathing correctly?
If you are performing rescue breathing correctly, you should see the chest of the victim rise and fall with each breath you deliver. Additionally, the victim may start to exhibit signs of improved color, indicating better oxygenation. You should also monitor for any response from the victim, such as movement or breathing on their own. It’s crucial to continue rescue breathing until emergency medical help arrives or the victim begins to breathe adequately.

When do you use both chest compressions and rescue breathing?
Both chest compressions and rescue breathing are used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) when a person is unresponsive and not breathing or not breathing normally. This approach is particularly recommended for infants and children, as well as in situations where the cause of cardiac arrest is likely to be asphyxia. In adult victims of sudden cardiac arrest, hands-only CPR (chest compressions only) is often advised, especially for bystanders who may not be trained in rescue breathing.
