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

Explanation:

When resuming CPR after an AED shock for an adult (assuming this is an adult - related scenario as no age - specific information is given otherwise), the standard ratio is 30 compressions to 2 breaths. For two - rescuer CPR on an adult, the 2 - thumb - encircling hands technique is used for compressions (in some cases of infant CPR, the 2 - finger technique is used but that is for infants).

Answer:

Complete cycles of 30 compressions and 2 breaths, and use the 2 thumb - encircling hands technique.
