Question
Is chest compression suitable for children?
Answer
When performing chest compression, use one palm or the middle three fingers to press on the child’s sternum, right at the midpoint between the nipples. The arm should be perpendicular to the ground, pressing down with a depth of 2 to 3 centimeters. During resuscitation of infants, the compression rate should be between 100 to 120 times per minute. It is important to change the child’s sleeping position promptly to promote the development of their head and chest. Avoid having the child sleep on their stomach. Wishing your child a healthy and happy growth.
