To locate the proper area for CPR compressions on an infant, the rescuer should place two fingers just below the nipple line in the center of the chest, on the lower half of the sternum. The compressions should be performed using the fingers or two fingers in a gentle yet firm manner, ensuring that the depth is about 1.5 inches.

What compression's with one rescuer with a infant?

When performing chest compressions on an infant with one rescuer, the rescuer should use two fingers placed just below the nipple line in the center of the chest. Compressions should be at a depth of about 1.5 inches and at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute, allowing complete recoil between compressions. After every 30 compressions, the rescuer should give 2 rescue breaths. It's essential to ensure the infant is on a firm, flat surface during this process.
