For Child Multiple-Rescuer CPR, what is the proper ratio of compressions to breaths?

In Child Multiple-Rescuer CPR, the proper ratio of compressions to breaths is 15 compressions followed by 2 breaths. This ratio allows for more frequent breaths relative to the number of compressions when two rescuers are present, ensuring that the child receives adequate ventilation while also maintaining sufficient circulation through chest compressions.

This ratio is tailored specifically for pediatric patients, as children have different physiological needs compared to adults. The emphasis on a higher frequency of breaths is crucial because young children can quickly suffer from respiratory distress, and providing timely rescue breaths helps to ensure that they receive sufficient oxygenation.

In the context of multiple rescuers, this 15:2 ratio also supports teamwork, allowing one rescuer to focus on compressions while the other manages ventilation, facilitating effective resuscitation efforts.
