| ABSTRACT |
|
Latrogenic gastric rupture is a rarely reported complication of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Rupture can occur during chest compressions when the stomach is overinflated due to difficult airway management or esophageal intubation. The prognosis of gastric rupture is generally poor, so patients should undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible. We present the case report of a patient with an acute myocardial infarction who experienced gastric perforation and pneumoperitoneum after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. |
| Key words:
