Detailed explanation-1: -What do you Do if you Hear a Break? So now we come to the million-dollar question: what do you do if you hear a bone break during CPR? The answer is simple: you keep going.
Detailed explanation-2: -If you are performing CPR and hear or feel a rib break, you should keep going. Of course, the victim’s chest will hurt when they wake up, but the one thing that matters is that they’re alive. So far, there are not many cases where the victim has complained over CPR being performed on them.
Detailed explanation-3: -Breaking ribs during CPR or separating the cartilage is NOT the sign of effective CPR. Does it happen sometimes? Yes, but instructors took it a little too far back in the day. This kind of education can lead to serious problems if your goal was to break someone’s ribs every time you did CPR.
Detailed explanation-4: -Most rib fractures can be treated with rest, icing and over-the-counter (OTC) NSAIDs like aspirin or ibuprofen. Your provider will tell you how often to ice your injury, but in general, you can ice your ribs for 20 minutes at a time a few times a day.
