Breaths are crucial for infants and children in cardiac arrest because they provide oxygen necessary for cellular metabolism and organ function. In pediatric patients, the primary cause of cardiac arrest is often respiratory failure, making effective ventilation vital to restore oxygen levels. Additionally, infants and children have a higher oxygen demand relative to their body size, so timely breaths can help prevent irreversible brain damage and improve the chances of successful resuscitation. Ensuring adequate ventilation is essential during CPR to increase the likelihood of survival and recovery.
