How many compressions should a rescuer provide when using the 2-rescuer method for Child CPR?

In the 2-rescuer method for Child CPR, the correct approach is to provide 15 compressions followed by 2 breaths. This technique is designed to efficiently deliver oxygen to the child while also maintaining adequate blood circulation. The compression-to-breath ratio of 15:2 ensures that there is a primary focus on compressions, which are crucial for maintaining blood flow, while still allowing for the vital delivery of breaths to provide oxygen.

Using this method enhances the effectiveness of the resuscitation effort, as the additional compressions ensure the child's heart receives continued support, leading to improved outcomes in cardiac emergencies. The focus on a higher number of compressions at a lower breath count is also aligned with the physiological needs of a child, whose anatomy and response to CPR will differ from that of adults.
