Answer: When performing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) on a child, the recommended rate for chest compressions is approximately 100 to 120 compressions per minute. This guideline applies to both children and infants. It’s important to maintain a consistent rhythm and depth while performing chest compressions to effectively circulate blood and provide oxygen to the body’s vital organs.
