Why is it 15 compressions with 2 rescuers on infants?
It isn't, and this is in fact incorrect.The correct procedure for infants and children is to start with 5 rescue breaths before chest compressions are even given. Once the 5 rescue breaths have been given the normal ratio of chest compressions to rescue breaths should be given (30/2).It should also be noted that the depth should be changed to a third of the depth of an adult for child and infant casualties. And of course child-1 hand, infant-2 fingers.
