For infant CPR with two rescuers, how are the compressions delivered?

• A. 2 fingers in center of chest just below nipple line
• B. 1 finger in center of chest
• C. 2 hands on lower sternum
• D. 2 thumbs encircling the chest, just below the nipple line

Answer: (D)

Two rescuers use a two-thumb encircling technique. Place both hands around the infant’s chest, with the thumbs pressing on the sternum just below the nipple line. This grip lets both rescuers contribute force, gives stable control, and achieves the appropriate compression depth while allowing full chest recoil. It's especially suited for two rescuers because it helps maintain consistent depth and reduces fatigue, compared with one rescuer using only two fingers. The other hand positions described are technique used when only one rescuer is present or change in grip, but they don’t provide the same level of control and depth for two rescuers.
