Instead of the ABC's it is now CAB (for CPR only). The AHA is stressing the importance of compressions and circulation over airway. The thought behind this is breathing, while important, does no good if you can't circulate the oxygen throughout the body. Also, most citizens don't carry pocket masks around with them and are reluctant to perform CPR on a stranger for free of getting a disease. They now instruct that you have the option of Compressions Only CPR if you don't have a mask.
The compression to breath rate has reamained unchanged. It is still 30:2. Another change is in how you perform compressions. The AHA now says that when performing compressions, your hand should come off the chest to allow the heart to properly recoil and fill with blood.
As a professional, I go through a different CPR program than you do so I am unaware if there are other changes. I believe for the most part it is still the same.
The ABC process has changed to CAB and the 1 to 1 1/2 intches deep of compression has changed to 2 intches for child and adult not infants
it was abc
The new guidelines for CPR, ECC 2005, is described in the AHA related link.
30 compressions 2 breaths. Per 2010 AHA guidelines. Compression only CPR can be performed if no barrier device is present.
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.
1 rescuer CPR for infant is 30 compressions to 1 breath.
No, they do not. CPR is the same everywhere.

Provider is not a type or level of CPR. It is any institution that enters into a contract with the American Red Cross (possibly AHA; I am not sure). The CPR that the provider teaches could be lay or professional.
All re-certifications (and certifications) follow the AHA (American Heart Association) ECC 2005 guidelines. All certification bodies have their own requirements for length of certification. The AHA (American Heart Association) is driving certification bodies to lengthen the certification time by having 2 year certifications.
Most of the certifying for CPR in the US is done by the American Red Cross (ARC) and American Heart Association (AHA).
It is possible to get an infectious disease from performing CPR. The risk is low, but there is a risk. That is why the ARC and AHA advise the use of a breathing barrier when performing CPR (even during class practice on the mannequin).
