https://www.cprcertified.com/blog/what-happens-if-ribs-break... "The conventional wisdom is that about 30% of patients suffer fractures or breaks during CPR. However, a 2015 study published in Resuscitation suggested that this percentage is quite a bit higher. The study analyzed autopsy data from 2,148 patients who received CPR for non-trauma-related cardiac arrest, and the statistics were as follows: * Skeletal chest injuries were found in 86% of men and 91% of women. * 59% of the men and 79% of the women had sternum fractures. * 77% of the men and 85% of the women had rib fractures." |
