Infant CPR 2 Rescuer

When two rescuers are present to perform infant CPR, begin as usual with an assessment and activation of EMS. If the infant is not breathing and has no pulse, begin CPR. One rescuer performs chest compressions, the other rescue breathing. Continue a cycle of 2 breaths and 15 compressions for about 10 cycles or 2 minutes. At this point the two rescuers should switch places. This continues until the infant is revived or the next level of life support arrives.
