The process of performing CPR (for the lay person) is pretty much the same across the ages; 30 compressions / 2 breaths. The difference you adjust for due to size is the amount of air that is required to expand the lungs & the depth of the compressions. Amount of compression depth & chest rise for the age groups is as follows: Adult (over 12 age): 1 1/2 to 2 inches; Child (age 1+ to 12): 1 to 1 1/2 inches; Infant (age birth to 1): 1/2 to 1 inch. There are other slight differences such as how far to tilt the head back (more for adult, less for child, even less for infant), where and if to check a pulse. A lot of minor differences I know; best to take a CPR class to actually perform all the steps and become proficient for adult, child, and infant.
