provide 30 chest compressions (about 1½ inches deep and at a rate of 100 to 120
compressions per minute). As you compress the chest, allow for complete chest
recoil. Then, deliver 2 ventilations using a pocket mask or face shield. Remember,
a BVM should not be used for single-provider CPR.
While the encircling thumbs technique is preferred for single-provider infant CPR,
you may alternatively consider using the two-finger technique (two or three fingers
placed in the middle of the chest). If the required depth cannot be achieved with
either technique, you may consider using a one-hand technique.
