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.

What is 2 person infant CPR?

This is done during 2-person CPR only. The person doing the compressions places the thumbs in the center of the chest, just below the nipple line.From there, place the hands around the infants sides (keeping thumbs in place), fingers between the back and ground. Support the infants back with your fingers. Give compressions by squeezing your thumbs & fingers together. Make sure you do not compress the sides or ribs. Place a towel, if available, underneath the infants shoulders to help maintain the head in a neutral position. Compress 1/2 to 1 inch. Give 15 compressions, other person then gives the 2 breaths. Repeat compressions & breaths.

When two rescuers are preforming CPR on a child, the compression to breath ratio is 15:2. That is 15 compressions 1-1.5" deep at a rate of 100 compressions a min. Each rescue breath should last about one second and make the chest clearly rise. The cycle is then repeated, fifteen compressions and two breaths. The rescuers should change positions about every 2min or about 10 cycles.
