1.5 to 2 inches
The proper compression depth on an adult is 2 inches.
In adult CPR, cardiac compressions should be performed approximately 2 finger widths above the xiphoid. For children, it should be performed on a line drawn between the nipples.
Chest compressions on adults should be 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep.
The recommended depth of chest compressions in adult CPR is 2 inches
The compression depth is 1 1/2 to 2 inches.
For compression depth, press down 1 1/2 to 2 inches.
The recommended depth of chest compressions in adult CPR is 2 inches
The recommended depth of chest compressions in adult CPR is 2 inches
Chest compression depth for CPR is: Adult = 2 inches Child = 1 to 1 1/2 inches Infant: 1/2 to 1 inch.
Approximate chest compression depth for CPR: Adult - 1 1/2 to 2 inches Child - 1 to 1 1/2 inches Infant - 1/2 to 1 inches.
A normal chest compression is one and a half to two inches - but don't worry about it, whatever the depth of the compression, you will still cause the blood to move.
The compression rate for CPR should be the same as an adult. That is 100 chest compressions per minute. The ratio of compressions to breaths should stillbe 30:2. Just like an adult.
