What is the correct chest compression depth for a infant?

For an infant (under 1 year old), the correct depth for chest compressions is:

  • About 1.5 inches (4 cm), or approximately one-third of the chest's depth.

When performing chest compressions on an infant:

  • Use two fingers (the index and middle fingers) placed just below the nipple line at the center of the chest.
  • Compress at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute.
  • Allow the chest to fully recoil between compressions, meaning it should return to its normal position before compressing again.

The goal is to provide effective circulation without causing harm, so it’s essential to use the appropriate pressure and depth for infants.
