You need to provide rescue breaths to a child victim with a pulse. What is the appropriate rate for delivering breaths?
The recommended order of interventions is chest compressions airway breathing or CAB in most situations with a compression rate of at least 100 per minute in all groups. Recommended compression depth in adults and children is at least 5 cm (2 inches) and in infants it is 4 centimetres (1.6 in).
Squeezing the bag once every 5 to 6 seconds for an adult or once every 3 seconds for an infant or child provides an adequate respiratory rate (10–12 respirations per minute in an adult and 20 per minute in a child or infant).
Basic life support (BLS) is a level of medical care which is used for victims of life-threatening illnesses or injuries until they can be given full medical care at a hospital.It can be provided by trained medical personnel such as emergency medical technicians and by qualified bystanders.

The primary modification for use with pediatric patients is to change the "normal" respiratory rate: since children breathe faster than adults JumpSTART assigns the immediate classification on the basis of respiratory rate only if the child's respiration is under 15 or over 45 per minute.
Wrong rate . The mentioned " rate of at least 120 per minute" is wrong at least after the ERC guidelines (100-120/min). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.78.139.116 16:49 14 December 2012 (UTC) Not wrong in Australia at least; a one-minute cycle is 30 compressions and 2 breaths - FOUR times per minute.
Firs...
