Correct answer
30 compressions and 2 rescue breaths.
Thirty chest compressions followed by two rescue breaths, repeating with minimal interruptions. Each breath should last about one second and make the chest begin to rise, without excessive inflation. If untrained or unable to give breaths, provide continuous compressions and follow 112 guidance. Use an AED as soon as available and follow its instructions. Injury alone does not call for rescue breaths; gasping is not normal breathing.
