When performing chest compressions on a patient suspected of cardiac arrest, these should be over the sternum, in the centre of the chest roughly between the two nipples, pushing to a depth of 4cm.
In adult CPR, cardiac compressions should be performed approximately 2 finger widths above the xiphoid. For children, it should be performed on a line drawn between the nipples.
For compression depth, press down 1 1/2 to 2 inches.
