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.
Recommended depth of compressions for an infant victim is 1/2 to 1 inch.
When performing infant CPR, the depth of the compression should be 1/2 to 1 inch.
Perform chest compressions for an infant at a rate of at least 100/minute.
For infant CPR, give cycles of 15 compressions to 2 breaths; rate of compressions are at least 100 per minute.
Ratio of compressions to breaths for a toddler is 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
During chest compressions, you should compress the chest at least 2 inches (5 cm) deep for adults, while allowing full recoil between compressions. For children, compressions should also be about 2 inches, and for infants, approximately 1.5 inches (4 cm). The compressions should be performed at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute. Proper depth and rate are crucial for effective blood circulation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
you give 30 compressions to 2 breaths
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.
Perform Adult CPR by 30 chest compressions to 2 breaths.
Infant, Child, Adult CPR all the same cycle/rate; 30 compressions, 2 breaths.
The current ratio for lay persons (not health care providers) is 30 compressions: 2 breaths based on current Canadian standards. Your country may vary! If you happen to be a healthcare provider, you have choices.... but you should know that.
