Infant CPR 2 rescuer

http://www.ProCPR.org When two rescuers are present to perform infant CPR, begin as usual with an assessment and activation of EMS. If the infant is not breathing and has no pulse, begin CPR. One rescuer performs chest compressions, the other rescue breathing. Continue a cycle of 2 breaths and 15 compressions for about 10 cycles or 2 minutes. At this point the two rescuers should switch places. This continues until the infant is revived, or the next level of life support arrives.

Great Question. Rescue breaths for infants is 1 breath every 3 seconds for approximately 20 breaths per minute. This is for professional level CPR only. For everyone else, we simply give cpr when the person is not breathing and shows no signs of life. The new breaths you saw from the rescuer were the two initial breaths that are given prior to pulse checks, not the rescue breath sequence. I hope this clarifies the skill.
