- petschge 7y agoWell yeah. Chest compressions produce enough air exchange even without rescue breath to keep the person alive for 5-10 minutes. If you have to do CPR longer than that outcomes are better with rescue breath. I hope you do have a mask or at least a face shield when you have to do that for a stranger...
