During CPR, what is the compression depth for an infant?

The compression depth for an infant during CPR is indeed recommended to be at least one-third the depth of the chest. This guideline is critical because it ensures that adequate blood flow is generated to vital organs during resuscitation efforts. For infants, this depth is typically around 1.5 inches, but using the one-third depth guideline allows for variations in the size and age of the infant, ensuring that compressions are effective regardless of their specific measurements.

This approach aligns with the emphasis on maximizing the chances of return of spontaneous circulation. Additionally, it reinforces the importance of proper hand placement and technique during compressions to ensure that the rescuer can effectively support life in critical situations.
