Studies have found that compression only is more effective, so 1 compression to zero ventilations is the correct ratio. If the person's heart is beating, then you can worry about respiration. If not, keep the blood circulating and let respiration worry about itself (there will be some gas exchange in the lungs even without it, and if you're compressing a person's chest, you're going to be compressing their lungs somewhat anyway, and even without both of those factors, there's quite a bit of dissolved oxygen in the blood; the really critical thing is to make sure that the brain ... which uses it pretty quickly ... doesn't use up the local supply and start to die off).
