To perform rescue breathing

1. Check the mouth for obstructions, lift the neck and tilt the head back.
2. Pinch the nostrils and seal the mouth, and exhale directly into the victim's mouth.
3. Release the nostrils and the seal around the mouth.
4. Watch for the victim's chest to rise by itself.
5. Feel for a pulse on the victim's neck.

Rescue breathing should continue at a normal breathing pace of about 12 times per minute, until the victim is fully able to breath on his or her own. Even if the victim appears able to breath on their own, be sure to keep a close watch since relapses are common.
If the victim is still not breathing normally, coughing or moving, begin chest compressions. Push down on the chest 11/2 to 2 inches 30 times right between the nipples. Pump at the rate of 100/minute, faster than once per second.

CONTINUE WITH 2 BREATHS AND 30 PUMPS UNTIL HELP ARRIVES

NOTE: This ratio is the same for one-person & two-person CPR. In two-person CPR the person pumping the chest stops while the other gives mouth-to-mouth breathing.
