Most CPR students don’t realize to be effective you have to crack the ribs. They hear ribs cracking and they think they are doing something wrong. And the survival rate is less than 10%.

I’ve performed CPR three times in my life and all three times the person was pronounced dead when they got to the hospital. My father was a physician and he said it is rarely successful but worth trying.

That’s a load of cow manure.

I’ve done CPR thousands of times and never broke ribs.

I had CPR for either 7 or 11 minutes (I was told both). I had absolutely no chest or rib discomfort after. This was done in an ambulance by paramedics and was obviously effective because I was in cardiac arrest and survived. Cracked ribs are not a requirement for effective CPR.
