Place one hand on top of the other and interlace the fingers (Figure 2). Lock your elbows and using your body's weight, compress the victims chest. The depth of compressions should be approximately 1 to 2 inches - remember: 2 hands, 2 inches (Figure 3). If you feel or hear slight cracking sound, you may be pressing too hard. Do not become alarmed and do not stop your rescue efforts! Damaged cartilage or cracked ribs are far less serious then a lost life.
During compressions on a child patient, depress the chest about 2 inches. In the adult procedure, rescuers should depress the chest at least 2 inches. If two rescuers are performing CPR, the ratio of compressions to rescue breaths is 15:2. The ratio for lone rescuers and all adult procedures is 30:2. A manual defibrillator is preferred for infant patients, although an automatic defibrillator may be used if a manual defibrillator is not available.
