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

    The person is dead if you don’t do something. You cannot fuck their day up any worse than it already is.

    Don’t think about it, just act!

    • Make sure that you are safe. If no one else is taking charge, you are in charge!
    • Get emergency services on the phone.
    • Clear the airways.
    • Get going with 30:2 at 100-120 BPM.
    • Get some help from the people around you.
    • Send someone for an AED.
    • Send someone to meet the ambulance.

    You can think about it later.
