True, it is important to allow the chest to fully recoil to its original position after each compression during CPR. This recoil helps to create negative pressure in the chest, allowing blood to flow back into the heart and improving circulation. Failing to let the chest return completely can reduce the effectiveness of compressions and decrease the chances of survival for the victim.

Allow your hand to come off the chest slightly. Not so much that you lose your position but just enough to ensure that you are not applying pressure.
It temporarily acts as the muscles to keep the heart beating and blood circulating through the body.
A normal chest compression is one and a half to two inches - but don't worry about it, whatever the depth of the compression, you will still cause the blood to move.
30 chest compression then 2 breaths for an adult and 15 chest compression and 1 breath for an infant or child.
Compress a child's chest 1 - 1 1/2 inches per compression.

Chest compressions involve rhythmic pressing down on the chest to help circulate blood when the heart is not pumping effectively. The movement is a downward force applied to the chest while the contraction is a compression of the heart between the sternum and the spine.
