Recent changes in infant compressions! The two finger technique is NOT recommended as of last week per the new AHA guidelines. Studies show that this technique is not as effective in providing quality chest compressions as the (1) thumb encircling technique or (2) using the heel of 1 hand to provide compressions.
This is one of several scientifically backed updates and improvements. To learn more about the new guidelines, sign up for a CPR class near you. Please note that many instructors are still in transition, so be patient with us as we have had many changes made to the materials and curriculum for our classes.
