For children and infants: once every three seconds
For adults: once every five seconds
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.
Airways-- Tilt the victim's head back to open the airways. Breathing-- Give two rescue breaths using mouth-to-mouth. Circulation-- After giving them two rescue breaths, check the pulse to see if their heart is still beating.
When delivering rescue breaths to an infant using a mask, the most important aspect is achieving a proper seal between the mask and the infant's face. This ensures that the breaths are effectively delivered into the airway rather than escaping around the edges. It's also crucial to use a gentle technique to avoid over-inflating the lungs and to monitor the infant’s chest rise to confirm adequate ventilation.
When using a bag-mask device for a child during CPR, you should squeeze the bag to deliver breaths every 2 to 3 seconds, which translates to about 20 to 30 breaths per minute. Ensure that each breath lasts about 1 second and results in visible chest rise. It's important to maintain a proper seal and avoid excessive ventilation, which can lead to complications. Always prioritize high-quality chest compressions in conjunction with rescue breaths.
Breaths don't change when using a BVM; 1 breath every 5 seconds for an Adult & 1 breath every 3 seconds for an Infant & Child.

Give breaths at a rate of 1 breath every 3 to 5 seconds.
For two rescuer infant CPR; one rescuer should give the breaths, the other rescuer performs compressions using the 2 thumbs encircling hands technique. Give cycles of 15 compressions and 2 breaths.
In two-rescuer child CPR, the compression-to-ventilation ratio is 15:2. This means that after every 15 chest compressions, the rescuers should provide 2 rescue breaths. The chest compressions should be performed at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute, using one or two hands depending on the size of the child, while ensuring that the breaths are given over 1 second each and make the chest rise visibly.
When administering CPR for children, you should provide 2 rescue breaths followed by 30 chest compressions. The compressions should be delivered at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute, using one or two hands depending on the size of the child. Ensure that the compressions are about 1.5 inches deep and allow for full chest recoil between compressions.
make sure it is around the mouth right to do the breaths
