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".
No 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.
The new guidelines for CPR, ECC 2005, is described in the AHA related link.
I am not sure what exactly you are asking. I have attached the link to the AHA ECC & CPR 2005 guidelines for your reference. These guidelines updated CPR to the latest techniques.
Learn CPR is a free public service supported by the University of Washington School of Medicine. Learn the basics of CPR - cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The American Heart Association issued updated CPR guidelines in October, 2010.
It seems as though, during the past number of years, it is every 5 years. There was ECC 2000, ECC 2005 & I hear there are guidelines for ECC 2010 which will be rolled out later this year; all which have CPR changes and updates.
No breaths, chest compression only with the rhythm of Staying alive.

when performing CPR the guidelines state 30 chest compressions to 2 rescue breaths. this should remain and shouldnt vary at all.
30 compressions 2 breaths. Per 2010 AHA guidelines. Compression only CPR can be performed if no barrier device is present.
CPR training can be found online from a number of companies such as American Safety Training Institution and F.A.S.T. rescue. They follow the guidelines of International Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation standards
New York
1 rescuer CPR for infant is 30 compressions to 1 breath.
If the AED advises "no shock", the best course of action is to continue or begin standard CPR to the best of your training and ability. New CPR guidelines do not require that you give breath, but emphasize the importance in good chest compressions to keep blood circulating.
