You are correct; 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths.
What is CPR a combination of?
A combination of breaths and chest compression cycles.
What is the compression to rescue breath ratio for?
the guidelines for adults, children and infants is 30 chest compressions to 2 rescue breaths.
Why 2 rescue breaths?
For aquatic rescue, a near drowning casualty may be in the condition known as laryngospasm "a condition where the vocal cords goes into spasm to prevent water from entering the lungs". Therefore it is advisable to provide 2 successful rescue breaths before starting chest compression.
What is the compression to breaths ratio for 2 rescuer infant CPR?
In two-rescuer infant CPR, the compression to breaths ratio is 15:2. This means that for every 15 chest compressions, the rescuers should provide 2 rescue breaths. It's important to ensure that compressions are delivered at a rate of about 100 to 120 per minute, while the breaths should be given using a gentle puff, just enough to make the chest rise.

What are signs of circulation after giving rescue breaths to infant?
Normal breathing
What should you observe when trying to determine if rescue breaths for an infant victim are?
chest rise
What should you observe when trying to determine if rescue breaths for an infant are effective?
chest rise
When a lone rescuer is administering chest compressions?
30 compressions that are done with frequency of at least 100/minute. Interupted by 2 rescue breaths
