Then place your other hand on top of the first one so that the hands are overlapped also your both arms must be straight. The compressions and ventilations are at a ratio of 30:2. To perform chest compression at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute, the compression depth for adults has to be more than 5 cm.

After 5 cycles of compressions and ventilations at a ratio of 30:2 for every 2 minutes (with either one or two rescuers present), if circulations are still not present, continue with CPR. However if there are spontaneous circulations (palpable pulses or movement) but no breathing can be detected, give rescue breaths at the rate of 10 to 12 breaths per minute, or about 1 breath every 6 seconds until the victim has spontaneous breathing.
