THERE ARE THREE MAIN TYPES OF CPR: Traditional, Child and Infant and Hands-Only. 1 Traditional CPR is the method that combines chest compressions 2 inches in depth at the rate of 100-120 beats per minute with two breaths. 2 Infant and Child CPR is similar to traditional CPR but has some key differences. Child CPR is performed with chest compressions at the depth of two inches with one or two hands, followed by two breaths. Infant CPR is performed with chest compressions at the dept of 1 1/2 inches with two fingers, followed by two breaths and repeat. 3 Hands-Only CPR is chest compressiononly CPR and has been shown to be equally effective as traditional CPR in the first few minutes of emergency response. It involves two simple steps that anyone can learn from a 60-second video available at heart.org/ handsonlycpr. 19
