It depends, if you pump their chest it gets their heart beating, whereas mouth to mouth helps them to breathe.

----

If the person has had heart failure, then you should do both--the current Red Cross guidelines are thirty chest pumps to two rescue breaths. If the person's heart has stopped, then they aren't going to be breathing, but if you can feel a heartbeat and they aren't breathing, then you should give mouth-to-mouth.

When beginning mouth to mouth respiration you should start with?

When beginning mouth to mouth respiration, you should start by assessing the victim with the ABC's (Airway-tilting the victim's head back to ensure open airway, Breathing-make sure that the victim's chest is going up and down that means the victim is breathing, Circulation- check the victim's pulse) If the victim is not breathing, skip checking the pulse and start CPR. First, give the victim two breaths. Breath in and out when giving the breaths just as you would when you breath regularly. Then, start giving the victim CPR pumps or whatever you call it when you pump the victim's chest. This is all I can tell you- I am a lifeguard and if you want to know all about CPR you need to be properly taught. :)

How should you give breaths with a mask?

Pinch the victim's nose to close nostrils, keeping the airway open by the head-tilt, chin-lift.Take a deep breath and seal your lips around the outside of the victim's mouth, preferably with a CPR barrier mask, creating an airtight seal.Give the victim 2 full breaths (1 second each), taking your lips off the victim's mouth to inhale between each breath.Check for chest rising and falling with each breath you give. The rising of the chest during your exhalations indicates the effectiveness of your breaths.Perform 5 sets of the 30-to-2 cycle within 2 minutes.Continue cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) until an automated external defibrillator (AED) is applied, the person starts to move, help arrives, or until you can no longer continue.
