Question
which technique is no longer recommended for infant compressions?
choose the correct answer
2 thumb - encircling hands technique
heel - of - 1 - hand compressions
2 - hands technique
2 - finger chest compressions
For infant compressions, the 2 - thumb - encircling hands technique is preferred when two rescuers are available as it provides better force control. The 2 - finger chest compressions are for single - rescuer infant CPR. The heel - of - 1 - hand compressions are not suitable for infants as their chests are small and require more precise and gentle compression methods. The 2 - hands technique is more for adult or larger child CPR (not the standard for infants).
