When giving breaths during CPR, you should?

Watching for the chest to rise when giving breaths during CPR is crucial because it indicates that air is entering the lungs correctly. This visual cue demonstrates that your efforts to deliver breaths are effective, ensuring that the person is receiving adequate oxygen. The chest rising is a sign that the airway is open, and the breaths being given are creating proper ventilation.

While observing the color of the face might provide some information about oxygen levels, it is not a reliable or immediate indicator of breath efficacy. Feeling for a pulse is more relevant in determining the need for CPR rather than assessing the effectiveness of ventilations. Counting to ten does not relate to the critical monitoring needed during the breathing phase of CPR. The primary focus should always be on confirming that the chest rises to know that the breaths are being delivered successfully.
