Infant compressions during CPR
For a baby, place both thumbs (side-by-side) on the center of the baby’s chest, just below the ni**le line
▪️Use the other fingers to encircle the baby’s chest toward the back, providing support
▪️Using both thumbs at the same time, push hard down and fast about 4cm at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute
▪️Allow the chest to return to its normal position after each compression
▪️For a baby, if you can’t reach the depth of 1 ½ inches, consider using the one-hand technique
