CPR & The Xiphoid Process

The body of the sternum articulates with the second through tenth ribs. The xiphoid process has no ribs attached to it, but provides attachment for some abdominal muscles.
If the hands of a rescuer are incorrectly positioned during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, there is danger of fracturing the xiphoid process and driving it into the internal organs.
