what is the recommended depth of chest compressions for a infant victim

If the patient is not breathing, after giving 30 chest compressions or straight away in a child or someone who has drowned

About 1.5 inches depth or 1/3 of their chest height

The depth of chest compressions in child CPR is 1 to 1 1/2 inches. A child is about 1 to 8 years old.

The rate for CPR chest compressions is 100 per minute; adult, child, and infant.

No you do chest compressions.

Compress a child's chest 1 - 1 1/2 inches per compression.

The ratio of Cardiopulmonary resuscitation chest compressions to breaths is 30.2. Between every 30 chest compressions, deliver 2 rescue breaths. The rescue breath should be approximately 2 seconds between each other. The only difference in adult and child CPR is that with a child, you begin with mouth to mouth before attempting chest compressions. Should the rescue breaths prove to be ineffective in reviving the child, start chest compressions. Chest compressions should be 4-5 centimetres deep but in a should push own to half the depth of the chest. Make sure you let the chest rise between each compression.

Give 30 compressions, then 2 breaths. Repeat cycles of compressions and breaths. Give compressions at a rate of 100 compression per min.

It is 30 to 2 and this is for adults and child and infants

30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths

one hand push 1.5 to2 inch.

3 compression every 10 seconds

1 cycle of CPR for a child consists of 30 compressions to 2 breaths.

About 1 to 1 1/2 inches.

2-Rescuer CPR: Adult: 30 compressions to 2 breaths Child & Infant: 15 compressions to 2 breaths

For everyone, we teach "1/3 the depth of the chest" knowing that your child could be 1 or 8 years of age. Text book would say 1.5 - 2 inches (4-5 cm)

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.

For an adult, once it is determined no signs of life exist, and 2 initial breaths are given, you then start compressions. For an Infant and Child, after the 2 breaths perform a pulse check, and if there is no pulse, start compressions.
