Frequently Asked Questions
According to the American Heart Association, nearly 400,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur annually in the United States. Each year, about 7,000 pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the U.S., which includes both infants and children. Infant CPR is a life-saving technique used to assist an infant whose heart has stopped beating or who has stopped breathing.
Yes. Certification in Infant CPR needs to be renewed every two years (certification validity is 2 years). Renewing your infant CPR qualification regularly sharpens muscle memory for swift response. The renewal process involves taking a refresher course and passing an exam to ensure that individuals know the latest techniques and guidelines for performing Infant CPR.
In addition to the formal renewal process, it's important to regularly practice your infant CPR skills to ensure that you are prepared in case of an emergency. Continuing education courses, online resources, and hands-on practice sessions helps maintain proficiency in Baby CPR.
Some organizations requires additional certification or training in related areas, such as first aid or basic life support. It's important to check with the specific organization or workplace to understand any additional certification regulatory requirements beyond Infant CPR certification.
Infant CPR under the 2025 AHA pediatric guidelines requires following the CAB sequence, using updated compression techniques, and delivering gentle rescue breaths. The older two-finger method is no longer recommended; instead, rescuers should use the two-thumb encircling technique when two rescuers are available or the heel-of-one-hand technique when alone. Compressions should be 1.5 inches deep, at 100–120 per minute, with breaths that gently cover both the infant’s nose and mouth. Compression-to-breath ratios remain 30:2 for a single rescuer and 15:2 for two rescuers, all aligned with current AHA infant CPR standards.
The main difference between an Infant CPR class and a standard CPR/AED certification course is the focus of the training. An Infant CPR class specifically teaches CPR techniques for infants (children under the age of one), while a standard CPR/AED certification course covers CPR techniques for individuals of all ages, including adults, children, and infants.
Acceptance of online-only CPR certification varies. Some employers and state regulators require hands-on skills testing. Always confirm with your employer or licensing agency before enrolling.
Yes, CPR Select offers free CPR training resources specifically designed for parents. While the training materials are free, obtaining certification does involve a fee. Parents interested in official certification should enroll in CPR Select's courses to gain the necessary skills and knowledge for emergency situations involving infants and children.
The final exam is conducted through an online written test. It serves as an assessment to evaluate your comprehension and proficiency in Infant CPR techniques. The exam comprises 20 multiple-choice questions.
Our Infant CPR certification course has a high success rate, with over 95% of participants passing the final exam on their first attempt.
CPR is different for Infants because it requires unique techniques due to their smaller size and fragility compared to adults. Key differences include using two fingers for chest compressions at a shallower depth of 1.5 inches and providing gentle rescue breaths covering both the nose and mouth of the infant.
If you are trained in a standard CPR course, you should still take a separate course in infant CPR to learn the specific techniques and guidelines for performing CPR on infants.
