Question… By doing chest compressions with a knife in the chest don’t you run the risk of puncturing something that may not yet be punctured? eg… the knife is in the left pectoral and might directly puncture the heart with chest compressions…

Hi Roy,
How would you perform CPR on a person who had recent by-pass heart surgery? My father had triple by-pass surgery about 5 months ago.
Thank you,
Renea
