For infants: 1/3 depth of chest, no more than 1.5 inches (4 cm)
For a Child that would be about 1/3 depth of the chest, no more than 2 inches (5 cm)
For adults:
2 inches but no more than 2.4 inches (5-6cm)

Is the hand placement and compression depth different for infant? - ANSWER birth to 1
year (except for infants in delivery room)
Use 2 fingers (instead of the palms)!
Placement area is the same (between the nipples and lower area of breast bone)
Compression depth is 1.5 inches (No more!) or 1/3 chest depth
, What is full chest recoil in CPR? - ANSWER Full chest recoil in CPR allows for the
heart to fill up fully with blood
What does it mean for compressions to be continuous?
How do 2 people do chest compressions? - ANSWER Continuous chest compressions

Where should you check for a pulse in an infant? - ANSWER Checking for a pulse in
adults and children at the carotid artery
Check at the brachial artery for infants
If you are doing 2 person rescue, when do you switch?
How does it change the compression to breath ratio? - ANSWER Every 2 minutes
switch when you are doing 2 person rescue
In adults, you keep same ratio 30:2 (compression: breath)
