  1. What is the compression depth for an infant during CPR?

    Answer: About 1.5 inches (4 cm)

  2. What technique is used for chest compressions on an infant by a single rescuer?

    Answer: Two fingers on the center of the chest

    A lone rescuer uses two fingers just below the nipple line on an infant.

  3. What is the compression-to-ventilation ratio for two-rescuer child or infant CPR?

    Two rescuers use a 15:2 ratio for infants and children.

  4. What is the first action for a choking adult who can still cough forcefully?

    Answer: Encourage them to keep coughing

    If air exchange is good, encourage continued coughing without intervening.

  5. What maneuver relieves a complete airway obstruction in a responsive adult?

    Answer: Abdominal thrusts (Heimlich)

    Abdominal thrusts are used to expel an object from a responsive choking adult.

  6. When should you stop performing CPR?

    Answer: When trained help takes over or the victim shows signs of life

    Continue CPR until EMS takes over, the victim revives, or you are too exhausted to continue.

    Answer: Possible rib fractures

    Rib fractures can occur and should not stop you from continuing proper compressions.
