I was read in The CANADIAN Red Cross First aid & CRP book ,

Do 30 chest compressions:

•  Put 2 hands in the centre the person’s chest.

•  Push deeply and steadily allowing the chest to recoil between compressions

. Give 2 breaths:

  • Open the airway.

               •  Place your barrier device over the person’s mouth and nose, and if use a flat plastic shield, pinch the person’s nostrils.

             •  Give just enough air to make the chest start to rise If both breaths go in, repeat the cycle of      30 compressions and 2 breaths. 

(You should do compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute. This works out to 

30 compressions in about 15 to 18 seconds).
