2 Rescuer

Two rescuer CPR for children and infants is usually only done in a hospital setting. For children the ratio of compressions to ventilations changes to 15:2. All other aspects are exactly the same for children and adults. For infants, 2 rescuer CPR is only done when the victim is intubated or when a infant sized bag-valve mask is in place. Compressions for 2 rescuer CPR on an infant can be done by encircling the victim's chest with both hands and compressing with your thumbs.
