According to the related link from the AHA:
"The major changes to the 2005 guidelines include:
Emphasis on effective CPR, chiefly on effective chest compressions with minimal interruptions
A single compression-to-ventilation ratio of 30:2 for all single rescuers for adults, children and infants (excluding newborns)
Each shock from an AED should be followed by two minutes of CPR starting with chest compressions
Each rescue breath should take one second and produce visible chest rise".

∙ 11y agoNo breaths, chest compressions only, to the rhythm of "Stayin' Alive" (if you're an optimist) or "Another One Bites the Dust" (if you're not). If you're going to sing it softly to yourself to help you keep the rhythm, I recommend the former, especially if there are family members nearby.
