The rib cage often does break, it isn't a requirement though. It's just that a person with a broken ribcage tends to be more alive than one with a non-working heart.
In the tiny possibility you're serious, IF you find you can't blow into the mouth, or no air comes out when you start compressions, it's possible the person has something lodged in their throat. So you DON'T jam it down further by shoving your fingers in, but do sweep the back of their mouth to get out anything reachable. Then immediately resume chest compressions, which may help dislodge it or get air around it. Sweep again if you think something has moved from the throat to the mouth.
No, don't do that. Do not put anything in their mouth, including fingers. (That used to be the protocol, but a lot of bitten fingers has changed it) If the airway is blocked then increase the head tilt. If still not getting air in, continue anyway as the chest compressions are likely to clear it like you said.
Most CPR dummies don't have the boob add on so women are more likely to have CPR done incorrectly and die. I'm off to spread more depressing facts, byeeeeee
Looks like some of your "facts" aren't actually facts.. CPR on adults is the same across all genders. The only slight difference would be for CPR done on a child.
As a woman I don't have massive tits either. Also my tits tend to fall to either side leaving the centre part (where compressions are done) pretty clear. It's more an issue with someone who actually has humongous boobs and the nipples are all over the place making landmarking more difficult. Technique is the same.
Reading comprehension not your strong suit, huh? If the dummies had tits like that, people would practice that. Literally no one said the technique is different.
The dummies do have tits though. Just not DD tits. And for a lot of folk the tits aren't an issue, as stated above, mr reading comprehension. Tits aren't an issue unless they're humongous.
CPR isn't about bringing someone back to life like on TV, it's about keeping their brain/heart as viable as possible as long as possible until someone shows up with drugs/an AED or equivalent. If they don't "reanimate" that doesn't mean you're doing it wrong.
Certain levels, mostly courses for the public, stopped teaching breaths. The comment section here is exactly why, they found that people couldn’t remember if it was 30:2, 15:12,100:2, etc. or spent time arguing with each other. Either way it caused a paralysis and people didn’t act. Decided to just go with 100beats (compressions) per minute, no breaths. At any type of Health Care Provider level training there are breaths.

I was about to comment something similar. Properly done breaths *during* chest compressions by a second person is shown to help, but very few people give rescue breaths correctly (too much pressure can damage the lungs) and chest compressions are always preferred to breaths.
From what I can tell, they were never truly out, but it's still currently recommended for a non-trained person to just to compressions and skip the breaths on adults because it's more important to keep the blood circulating with limited interruption.
Did advanced life support earlier in the year. The biggest factors for success are decent chest compression and early defibrillation (if shockable). Apparently there's enough of an oxygen store (in adults) to make interrupting compressions to ventilate less effective. Tbh your chance of surviving an out-of-hospital arrest is generally very low
My recert earlier this year was essentially "do breaths if you want, but if you don't know the person or don't feel comfortable with breaths just do compressions".
Crazy as it sounds, research has shown 'bystanders' are more reluctant to perform CPR on female, rather than male, patients because of the need to expose the (patient's) chest. Fear or sexual harassment lawsuits: yeah, idiot fucking lawyers again.
Remember: The worst CPR is the one you don't give. If somebody's heart stops, it's incredibly difficult to make it worse by doing something wrong. (Maybe if your approach to giving CPR is to start aggressively kicking them in the head or something) It's incredibly easy to unnecessarily allow someone to die because you're not sure what's the exact placement of hands or the exact rhythm (just hum Staying Alive) or whatever.
My Sister just had a CPR when she reacted on the Anesthetic pre Op. They gave her a good CPR, 2 broken rips. In a Hospital by experts. But you can be much to gentle giving CPR. No other harm she was back after 4 Minutes. And sing: "Staying alive" as it has the correct rythm for CPR and the right motivation.

They missed the part where you should remove the bra in case you are performing CPR on a woman. This is not a joke.

Only if its in the way. They can cause issues with defibs too.

I seem to recall that "opening the airway" should involve 2 fingers as deep as you can shove them...

That's not the airway you're opening and you need permission first so do the CPR, get the permission, Then....

Or if you're a bit more morbid, "Another One Bites The Dust" is also the correct rhythm.
