When performing two-rescuer infant CPR, what is the correct compression-to-ventilation ratio?

In two-rescuer infant CPR, the correct compression-to-ventilation ratio is 15:2. This ratio is specifically designed for infants to ensure that they receive adequate chest compressions while also allowing for effective ventilations. The higher ratio of compressions to breaths in infants, compared to adults, is important because infants are more susceptible to respiratory issues and require prompt and effective ventilation to address hypoxia.

Using this ratio allows the rescuer who is performing compressions to focus on maintaining blood circulation while the other rescuer provides breaths, ensuring a balance that supports the infant’s critical need for both oxygen and blood flow during cardiac arrest. This method is in line with guidelines provided by organizations such as the American Heart Association.

The other options suggest different compression-to-ventilation ratios that do not align with best practices for infants and are more suited for adult CPR or different scenarios.
