If a person's heart has stopped beating, that person is clinically dead and will remain dead, if resuscitation is not accomplished, therefore ribcage injuries are not a reason to avoid pressing down on the heart to stimulate it and cause blood to resume flowing. If a person has to suffer further injury to the ribcage, in the process of being resuscitated, that may be unavoidable. Just do CPR as normal.

If they do not have a pulse and aren't breathing, you perform rescue breathing and chest compressions.
