For infants, what commends compression technique during CPR?

The recommended compression technique for infants during CPR is to use two fingers, positioned in the center of the chest, just below the nipple line. This method is specifically designed to provide effective compressions on a small and delicate chest while minimizing the risk of injury.

In infants, the chest is much more pliable compared to that of older children or adults, making targeted compressions more crucial for generating the necessary blood flow during cardiac arrest. Using two fingers allows for better control and precision, facilitating deep and effective compressions without compromising the integrity of the infant's ribs.

Other options, such as using the palm of one hand or both thumbs in a grip, are more suitable for older children or adults, where the increase in size and robustness of the chest requires different techniques for effective compressions. A mix of fingers and hands does not provide the targeted approach needed for an infant's anatomy, which is why the two-finger technique is the best practice in this scenario.
