For infant CPR, give cycles of 15 compressions to 2 breaths; rate of compressions are at least 100 per minute.
Perform chest compressions for an infant at a rate of at least 100/minute.
Both the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association train 2 breaths to 30 chest compressions for child/infant CPR, for either 1 or 2 rescuers.
They should provide breaths for the infant every 5 seconds.
For infant CPR, you should push down about 1.5 inches deep when performing chest compressions. The recommended rate is 100 to 120 compressions per minute, and you should aim for a compression to ventilation ratio of 30:2 if you are alone, or 15:2 if there are two rescuers. Always ensure that the compressions are delivered with sufficient force to allow for complete recoil of the chest.
Both the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association train 2 breaths to 30 chest compressions for child/infant CPR, for either 1 or 2 rescuers.
1/2 to 1 inch compression depth.
With 2 rescuers, compressions and ventilations should be done at a ratio of 15:2 for an infant or child.
It is the same for 1-rescuer CPR Adult, Child, and Infant: 2 ventilations to 30 compressions.
American Heart Association CPR compression ratio is 30 compressions to 2 breaths. This is the ratio for Adults, Children, and Infants (lay rescuer). The compressions are given at a rate of 100/minute.
30 compressions to 2 breaths for one rescuer and 15 compressions to 2 breaths for 2 rescuers (also use the two hands encircling thumbs position for 2 rescuers). The old compression ratio was 5 compressions to 1 breath.
One must be careful when performing infant CPR. If the child is not breathing compressions are done between the nipples at a fast rate. The ration of compressions to breaths is 30:2. This should take approximately half a minute per cycle.
When performing compressions on child or infant casualties the depth of compressions should be a third of the depth of an adult, all whilst being at the same rate of 100-120 compressions per minute at a rate of 30/2.
