∙ 12y agoOral Airways do not change the ratio - 30:2. Have you even taken an EMT class?
Oral Airways are used to keep the tounge from blocking the pharynx. You still need to maintain Head Tilt-Chin Lift, or Jaw Thrust even with an Oral Airway in place.
Oral Airways cannot be used on paitients with a gag reflex.
The only change to the compression ventilation ratio would come AFTER a paramedic inserted an advanced airway into the Trachea. At that point compressions don't stop and you start ventilating with a BVM at 6-8 seconds.

∙ 14y agoFor adult, there is no more artificial respiration for the lay person. If an adult is not breathing, go directly to CPR. For an Infant and Child, give 1 breath (artificial respiration) every 3 seconds.

How you and a second rescuer can give CPR to an adult victim together?
One rescuer will give 30 compressions and the other rescuer will give 2 breaths. When the rescuer giving compressions gets tires and wants to change, on the last compression instead of saying 30 he/she says change. The 2 breaths are given, the rescuers stay on the same side of the patient, and move positions for the change. CPR then continues with the 30 compressions, then 2 breaths repeated until the next change is called for.
