use only two fingers to push, place them in the middle of the chest between the two nipples, and compress the chest firmly but gently
For two rescuer infant CPR; one rescuer should give the breaths, the other rescuer performs compressions using the 2 thumbs encircling hands technique. Give cycles of 15 compressions and 2 breaths.
The 2 thumb-encircling hands technique.
30 compressions that are done with frequency of at least 100/minute. Interupted by 2 rescue breaths
I assume this is a test question. Shame, shame. :) Unless the rescuer is trained with proper equipment, simply provide compressions. Do not stop for breaths as it is more effective without them.
30 compressions to 2 vents, for a single person, lay rescuer.
If the patient is DNR, if the heart is beating, if the circumstances of the rescue (in water for instance) prevent the rescuer from administering compressions in a safe and effective way, or if the patient is obviously and clearly dead, and beyond the help or CPR.
Maintain an open airway and give breaths.
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.
