Do you use the same technique for chest compressions during CPR as when giving care for an obstructed airway?

In an unconscious victim you perform CPR the same for an obstructed airway as you would for regular CPR with one exception, before attempting ventilation you should look for the object in the mouth and if you see it, remove it. But never perform a blind finger sweep!

Which sound occurs during breathing as the result of partially obstructed airway?
The sound is called a stridor (high pitched wheezing). See related link. The answer is rhonchus or rhonchi, which is loud rumbling sounds heard on auscultation (during inhalation) of bronchi obstructed by sputum.

Why do you not give very large breaths during rescue breathing?
Giving very large breaths during rescue breathing can force air to reach the stomach, causing the patient to vomit. Vomiting while the patient is unconscious poses a risk to airway management as it may become obstructed. Furthermore, you do not have time to be giving very slow, forceful breaths are chest compressions take precedence in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
What do you do after a patient has been intubated during two person CPR?
After a person has been intubated, chest compressions are no longer interrupted to do ventilations. Instead, chest compressions are done continuously, and ventilations are done simultaneously at a rate of one breath every 6 to 8 seconds. This is because now that the patient is intubated, (assuming placement of the tube has been confirmed) the airway is open, so the rescuers no longer have to stop compressions to open the airway and check for chest rise.
