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.
Is The correct CPR sequence for evaluation is CirculationChest Compression Opening Airway and rescue Breaths (CAB)?
The correct CPR sequence for adult victims is actually "CAB," which stands for Circulation (chest compressions), Airway, and Breaths. This emphasizes the importance of starting with chest compressions to maintain blood circulation before addressing the airway and delivering rescue breaths. For infants and children, the sequence may vary slightly, often starting with airway assessment. Always ensure to call for emergency assistance before beginning CPR.

When you pause to take some deep breaths before reacting you are allowing which part of your brain to respond?
You are allowing your prefrontal cortex to respond. This part of the brain is responsible for rational decision-making and emotional regulation. Taking deep breaths helps activate the prefrontal cortex and promotes a more thoughtful response rather than an impulsive reaction.
What is the recommend depth of chest compressions for an infant?
Compressions on an infant should be performed either with you hands wrapped around the baby, pushing your thumbs into the lower half of the sternum, but not the very bottom of it, or with the baby lying flat on it's back, using your index and middle finger in the same location. Depth should be 1/3 the total thickness of the infant's chest, or about 1 1/2 inches. If alone, give 2 rescue breaths after every 30 compressions at a rate of 100 per minute, being sure to cover the infant's mouth AND nose with your mouth. If you have a second rescuer, have them give 2 rescue breaths after every 15 compressions. Have the 2nd rescuer call 911 before assisting you with CPR.
