Could I break someones ribs performing CPR?

0

It is possible to seperate a victims ribs from the sternum while performing CPR, however, the younger the victim, the less likely this is to happen. Conversely, the older the victim, the more likely the victims bones are to be brittle. Remember compress the chest only 2-2 inches on an adult victim and 1-1 inches on a child.
