Low bone mineral density increases the risk of multiple rib and sternal fractures during cardiopulmonary resuscitation
The study identified a statistically significant correlation between low BMD and a higher number of rib and sternal fractures after CPR. Further, in cases with normal BMD, the use of mechanical CC increased the frequency of rib and sternal fractures.
