This is done during 2-person CPR only. The person doing the compressions places the thumbs in the center of the chest, just below the nipple line.From there, place the hands around the infants sides (keeping thumbs in place), fingers between the back and ground. Support the infants back with your fingers. Give compressions by squeezing your thumbs & fingers together. Make sure you do not compress the sides or ribs. Place a towel, if available, underneath the infants shoulders to help maintain the head in a neutral position. Compress 1/2 to 1 inch. Give 15 compressions, other person then gives the 2 breaths. Repeat compressions & breaths.
