Minutes are vital.
So Nelly the Elephant as above, is a pretty good one to remember then? That would let you sing the above twice, with two breaths at the end of each, and about 30-32 compressions depending on how many syllabals get a compression, taking about 20 seconds to complete. Singing it also gives you something else to concentrate on and may help stop you from panicing.
