If proper CPR involves compressing the chest so much such that the ribcage might break - doesnt that breakage risks a bone puncturing the heart?

    Let’s analyze it this way.

    Risk of dying from a lack of blood flow. 100% Risk of dying from a punctured heart from CPR. <100%

    Do CPR. Get training. Most of the time, what you hear is cartilage popping.
