I've been trained in CPR and with my job and even though we get tested on it every year with a mini-refresher course we will be moving to the new method next year. What the studies have shown is that stopping the compressions to give breaths causes more harm than good. BUT...if two people are available (two man CPR) you still are better off having one person give breaths while another person does chest compressions.
