We are certainly trained that if someone is not breathing we are to commence full CPR, not just mouth to mouth as it is more than likely if they are in respiritory arrest they will soon be in cardiac arrest anyway.

lol well my exams were last week, so it makes a change
But yep you're spot on. CPR once you establish they aren't breathing. It essentially aims to help the heart work as effectively as possible in pumping blood to the vital organs, as the lungs stop receiving air. But who knows, they'll probably change the algorithms again a few years down the line again.
