After giving two full breaths, find the person's carotid artery pulse to see if the heart is still beating. To find the carotid artery pulse, take your hand that's lifting the chin and find the person's Adam's apple (image box). Slide the tips of your fingers down the groove beside the Adam's apple and feel for the pulse.
If you can't find the pulse, in addition to rescue breathing, you'll have to provide artificial circulation.
Circulation: Check for signs of a pulse.
