How many rescue breaths are given to an infant in 2 minutes?
none.
How many initial rescue breaths should be given for a child or infant?
Five initial rescue breaths are given to children and infants. This aids in oxygenating the blood to stimulate breathing prior to beginning chest compressions.
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.
What is the purpose of rescue breathing?
When a person has stopped breathing and can not breathe on his own, rescue breathing (or Mouth-To-Mouth Resuscitation) is given to try and saved the persons live (in addition to CPR and/or defibrilation).
Do you start CPR with compressions?
If the casualty is an adult then start with compressions. If the casualty is an adult, but has come out of water then 5 rescue breaths should be given before the usual 30/2 is given. If the casualty is a child or infant out of water or not you should start with 5 rescue breaths then continue with the usual 30/2.

Why do you not give large breaths during rescue breathing?
That question is not fully correct. When doing mouth to mouth rescue breaths, it is important to inflate the chest completely by blowing a strong breath into the patients mouth. In an infant or child, you are advised not to take a full breath in because any excess air goes to the stomach and is regurgitated in the form of vomit. If you are sufficiently trained to use a device that replaces rescue breathing (known as a bag-mask) be careful not to squeeze the bag fully as any excess air will travel down to the stomach and the patients stomach contents will be expelled through the mouth. This is not only unpleasant, it poses an airway obstruction threat. In summary, inflate the patient's chest fully and wait for it to rise down between each breath. You should only allocated a maximum of three seconds for theo two breaths before going back to chest compressions. Compressions are more important than rescue breathing.
Can honey and cinnamon powder be given to children?

When do you give someone Rescue Breaths compared to Cardio Pulmonary?
Rescue breathing is given to a patient in respiratory arrest but still has a strong pulse. =Often, in my experience, it's infants that go into respiratory arrest rather than heart failure because their little hearts want to beat - they don't have the problems that adults do that puts strain on the heart like stress, obecity and cholesterol.==Rescue breathing for adults, (8 years and up) - 1 breath every 5 seconds.==Rescue breathing for children, (1 - 8 years) - 1 breath every 3 seconds.==Rescue breathing for infants, (1 - 12 months) - 1 puff every 3 seconds.=
During rescue breathing gastric distension may occur from?
During rescue breathing some of the air given by the resuscitator may go down the throat to the patients stomach which causes gastric distention.
