We manually open the airway using either a head tilt chin lift or a modified jaw thrust. After making sure they are not infact not breathing on there own we hook up a device called a bag valve mask (bvm) with oxygen to breath for them. The rate of breaths for a person who is apenic (not breathing) with a strong pulse is 1 breath every 6-8 seconds. Make sure to monitor the pulse if it becomes slow and weak begin CPR.

Yes those are the basics, however you first need to check for any obstructions in the airway before you begin your ventilation's, you need to secure the airway by using a oropharyngeal airway and you need to intubate the patient. We can also connect a ventilator to the et tube thereby getting rid of the need for a bvm. You also need to ascertain the reason for the apnea and if possible correct that.
