When the rescuer is unwilling or unable to do the ventilations.

"The Canadian Red Cross recognizes that compression-only CPR is an acceptable alternative for those who are unwilling, unable, untrained, or are no longer able to perform full CPR. In some cases, compression-only CPR is the preferred method for members of the public who witness an adult suddenly collapse. The issue has recently emerged based on research published in the journal Circulation."

When do you provide ventilations?

Ventilations are provided during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) when the person is unresponsive and not breathing or only gasping. In situations involving respiratory distress or failure, such as choking or drowning, ventilations are also necessary to ensure oxygen delivery. Ventilations can be administered using mouth-to-mouth, bag-mask ventilation, or mechanical ventilation, depending on the circumstances and available equipment.
