During chest compressions, you should compress the chest at least 2 inches (5 cm) deep for adults, while allowing full recoil between compressions. For children, compressions should also be about 2 inches, and for infants, approximately 1.5 inches (4 cm). The compressions should be performed at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute.
