how often do you give breaths to an adult during rescue breathing
Act quickly, because brain damage can occur after only 3 minutes without oxygen. If the person is an infant or child (age 1 to puberty) and he or she is not breathing, do chest compressions and rescue breathing for 2 minutes (5 cycles), then call 911. In adults, call 911 first and begin CPR. Please note: If you are alone, not trained in CPR, and a phone is nearby, call 911.
