For infant CPR with two rescuers, what is the compression-ventilation ratio?

• A. 30:2
• B. 20:2
• C. 10:2
• D. 15:2

Answer: (D)

In two-rescuer infant CPR, you work with a 15:2 cycle: deliver 15 chest compressions, then give 2 rescue breaths, and repeat. Having two rescuers allows one to maintain high-quality chest compressions while the other delivers breaths, so ventilation happens more frequently without long pauses in compressions. Keep the compression rate around 100–120 per minute and give gentle breaths that produce a visible chest rise. Switch roles about every 2 minutes to prevent fatigue and sustain effectiveness.
