My most recent trainer told us to do one breath with every twenty compressions (pumps) for adults, and one with every ten pumps for children or other persons under 100lbs. If you have a smaller lung capacity, for any reason, change the above numbers to one breath per ten and five pumps, respectively.

Why is it 15 compressions with 2 rescuers on infants?

It isn't, and this is in fact incorrect.The correct procedure for infants and children is to start with 5 rescue breaths before chest compressions are even given. Once the 5 rescue breaths have been given the normal ratio of chest compressions to rescue breaths should be given (30/2).It should also be noted that the depth should be changed to a third of the depth of an adult for child and infant casualties. And of course child-1 hand, infant-2 fingers.


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.
