Also it stated that Chest Compressions can help to open the airway of the victim if it was blocked by something.
Also another thing that it has change from the last part, is that the rescuer should _NOT_ check for pulse in the victim. He checks for other vital signs.
In a lesson for Effective First Response, you'll learn (after 2005 changes) that the ration between Chest Compressions and Breaths are 30:2. If you can't make one out of the 2 (probably you stand in a place that doesn't help), they say "Try to make the Chest Compressions".
If course the ideal is to make normally 30 chest compressions (at the rate 100 per min) and 2 breaths.
