What is the correct compression depth for an infant during CPR?
Answer: About 1.5 inches (4 cm)

A lone rescuer uses the two-finger technique just below the nipple line on the lower half of the breastbone.
What compression depth is recommended for a child (age 1 to puberty) during CPR?
Answer: About 2 inches (5 cm)
Child compressions should be about 2 inches, or one-third the depth of the chest.
What is the compression-to-ventilation ratio for a single rescuer performing CPR on a child or infant?
Answer: 30:2
A single rescuer uses 30 compressions to 2 breaths for children and infants, the same as for adults.
When two rescuers perform CPR on an infant, what compression-to-ventilation ratio is used?
Answer: 15:2
With two trained rescuers, infants and children receive 15 compressions to 2 breaths.
What is the preferred two-rescuer compression technique for an infant?
Answer: Two thumb-encircling hands technique
The two thumb-encircling hands technique is preferred for infants when two rescuers are present because it produces better blood flow.
