What is the compression-to-ventilation ratio for two-person CPR on children and infants?

The compression-to-ventilation ratio for two-person CPR on children and infants is 15:2. This ratio is specifically designed to provide an effective balance between chest compressions and rescue breaths. In the case of infants and children, higher breaths are recommended to provide adequate oxygenation since their respiratory needs differ from those of adults.

This guideline is part of an effort to optimize the chances of survival and recovery in younger patients. The rationale behind using 15 compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths is based on the anatomical and physiological differences in children and infants, who may require more frequent ventilations in relation to chest compressions compared to adults.

The other options reflect compression-to-ventilation ratios that are not suitable for two-person CPR in pediatric cases. For instance, the 30:2 ratio is used for adults, while 30:3 and 15:1 do not align with current CPR guidelines for children and infants.
