The depth of the CPR should be at least 2 inches or 5 cm.

The recommended guidelines for CPR in an adult patient would be 100-120 compression per minute with 2-2.4 inches depth. Make sure that the chest has fully recoiled in each compression. Lower depth will decrease the efficiency while deeper depth will cause a higher risk of complication
