How is two-person CPR performed on a child?

• A. 30:2 ratio
• B. 15:2 ratio; one rescuer compresses while the other provides breaths, then swap
• C. 5:1 ratio
• D. One rescuer performs both compressions and breaths

Answer: (B)

In two-person CPR for a child, you work in a 15:2 cycle with the rescuers sharing tasks. One rescuer keeps delivering chest compressions while the other delivers two breaths, then they swap roles to keep the compressions high-quality and the ventilation continuous. This approach preserves circulation and oxygen delivery better than a single rescuer doing both, and it avoids the longer pauses in chest compressions that would happen with other ratios like 30:2 or 5:1. It also reduces fatigue, helping maintain the correct compression depth and rate throughout the effort.
