no signs of life but might still be breathing.
a weak pulse and shallow breathing.

Brief Explanations

Cardiac arrest is the sudden loss of heart function. In an infant with cardiac arrest, there are no signs of life and no pulse as the heart has stopped effectively pumping blood. Breathing usually ceases shortly after the heart stops. Having a weak pulse or still breathing is not consistent with full - blown cardiac arrest.

Answer:

No signs of life and no pulse.
