Adult And Pediatric First Aid CPR AED Exam A Practice

If two rescuers are present for an infant, what technique is commonly used?

Two-thumb encircling hands technique on the chest. Two-finger technique on the chest. One-handed compressions. Back blows.

Correct Answer:

Two-thumb encircling hands technique on the chest.

Explanation:

With two rescuers present for an infant, the two-thumb encircling hands technique on the chest is used. Place both thumbs on the center of the chest (just below the nipple line) and wrap the fingers around the infant’s back to support the torso. This arrangement allows for deep, controlled compressions with good chest recoil while the other rescuer can manage breaths or the airway. The two-finger technique is typically used by a single rescuer, and one-handed compressions aren’t appropriate for infants; back blows are for choking crises, not CPR.
