CPR doesn't have to break any bones.
But heart compressions have to be done with some force, and might crack a rib or two.
The bone that you try not to break is the xiphoid process.
You are trying not to break the xiphoid process bone.
The bone that may break is the xiphoid process.
You need to locate the Sternum.
Yes. When you do CPR, the sternum will sometimes crack.
The bone you compress in CPR is called the sternum, which is located in the center of the chest. Compressing the sternum helps to manually pump blood through the body during CPR, providing vital circulation to the brain and other organs.
Yes when doing CPR for an infant only use 2 fingers.
you can't break your penis as it is not a bone it is just a muscle so you cant break it.
If I remember back to my first aid training you could break the ribs, you are more likely to bruise them. But if you give chest compressions during CPR you have to break the ribs by applying a lot of pressure. lfoster23's response-- thankyouu :) but i think it;s something like the hyoid bone but i wanted to make sure could that be correct?
Yes it's very possible and quite common because compressing the chest is an unnatural movement. If a rib or two break, please do not stop CPR as this is an injury that can be repaired later, your priority is giving the patient a chance at survival.
You cant break your ear as it is not a bone and it is simply fat and tissue :)
A straight break across the bone is called a transverse fracture.
