Explanation:

For adult CPR after an AED - delivered shock, the standard ratio is 30 compressions to 2 breaths. For infants (less than 1 - year - old), in a two - rescuer scenario, the ratio is 15 compressions to 2 breaths. The 2 - thumb encircling hands technique is used for infants in a two - rescuer situation, and the 2 - finger technique is for single - rescuer infant CPR or for children. Since the question doesn't specify the patient age as infant or child, assuming adult, the ratio is 30:2.

Answer:

Complete cycles of 30 compressions and 2 breaths, and use the 2 - finger technique
