🚨BABY CPR UPDATE🚨2026
The Resuscitation Council UK major update is the emphasis on the two-thumb encircling technique for chest compressions on replacing the older two-finger method, as it provides better blood flow, though some guidelines still teach both as options.
You place both thumbs on the lower half of the breastbone (sternum), wrap your hands around the baby's chest to support the back, and push down about one-third of the chest depth (around 4 cm) at a rate of 100-120 beats per minute, following the standard 5 initial rescue breaths, 15 compressions to 2 breaths ratio.

How to Perform Infant CPR with the Two-Thumb Technique:
💚Position: Place the baby on a firm surface. Find the spot just below the imaginary line connecting the ni***es, on the lower half of the breastbone.
💜Hand Placement: Place both thumbs side-by-side on this spot, tips pointing towards the baby's head. Spread your other fingers to encircle the baby's chest, supporting their back.
💚Compress: Push down about one-third the depth of the chest (approx. 4 cm or 1.5 inches).
💜Release: Allow the chest to fully recoil after each compression.
💚Rate: Aim for 100-120 compressions per minute.
💜Ratio: After 5 initial rescue breaths, 15 compressions, follow 2 gentle rescue breaths (nose and mouth method)
💚Continue: Repeat cycles of 15 compressions and 2 breaths.

PLEASE NOTE: These updates and the 5-15-2 method are for people with a Paediatric FA/BLS qualification and anyone not trained or trained in Adult FA should stick to the 30-2 method

I don’t normally post personal things on FB but today is a different day!

Today I was truly reminded professionally and personally just how important my work is! and how much I value the people who look after my babies.

Today I received that dreaded phone call while I was teaching, to say my little Oliver had choked at pre school (his fault, not theirs) he is ok due to the amazing team acting so quickly and even though it wasn’t as quick to come out, they had eventually managed to remove the blockage! I know the team have been shaken by this but they carry on regardless of their own emotions or feelings, INCREDIBLE!

I’m forever in there, and one person in particular’s Debt for saving My babies life!

This reminds me just how bloody important my work is and how having correctly trained staff in settings is vital, Both boys are in the most amazing setting with the best practitioners who go above and beyond there requirements and care for the children they look after!

The Childcare/Education sector is one of the worst Paid, yet we are asking these professionals to potentially save the life of our most treasured positions on a daily basis! Makes no sense!

Honestly! value, respect and let these people know just how amazing they are every now and then, and let them know just how much you appreciate them for taking such amazing care of our children❤️❤️

❤️
