Compression depth for a child is at least ⅓ the depth of the chest size, or 5 cm for a child and 4 cm for an infant. Why? There is a wide range of victim sizes for infants and children. Depths measured in centimetres/inches may not reflect the actual victim size for proper depth of compressions.
What is the correct depth of compression over the chest?
Push straight down on (compress) the chest at least 2 inches (5 centimeters) but no more than 2.4 inches (6 centimeters). Use your entire body weight (not just your arms) when doing compressions. Push hard at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions a minute.
How do you do CPR on a 5 year old?
Perform chest compressions:
Place the heel of one hand on the breastbone — just below the nipples. Keep your other hand on the child’s forehead, keeping the head tilted back.Press down on the child’s chest so that it compresses about one third to one half the depth of the chest.Give 30 chest compressions.
