Why is it 15 compressions with 2 rescuers on infants?
It isn't, and this is in fact incorrect.The correct procedure for infants and children is to start with 5 rescue breaths before chest compressions are even given. Once the 5 rescue breaths have been given the normal ratio of chest compressions to rescue breaths should be given (30/2).It should also be noted that the depth should be changed to a third of the depth of an adult for child and infant casualties. And of course child-1 hand, infant-2 fingers.

When do you give someone Rescue Breaths compared to Cardio Pulmonary?
Rescue breathing is given to a patient in respiratory arrest but still has a strong pulse. =Often, in my experience, it's infants that go into respiratory arrest rather than heart failure because their little hearts want to beat - they don't have the problems that adults do that puts strain on the heart like stress, obecity and cholesterol.==Rescue breathing for adults, (8 years and up) - 1 breath every 5 seconds.==Rescue breathing for children, (1 - 8 years) - 1 breath every 3 seconds.==Rescue breathing for infants, (1 - 12 months) - 1 puff every 3 seconds.=
