An 11m baby had an apnea event. The parents are worried that if something like this happens in
the future, how they are to deal. Advise them about infant CPR.
a. Index and middle finger compression
b. Compression with palm of one hand
c. Compression with palm of two hands
d. Compression with rescue breaths 30:2
e. Compression with rescue breaths 15:2
Both a and e are correct......... but the most important thing in a child under 1 year of age is that they provide compression correctly with 2 fingers on the sternum....the rate is a secondary issue!
