A young male with abdominal distention and fever after cardiopulmonary resuscitation treatment / 世界急诊医学杂志（英文）

ABSTRACT

@#Abdominal distention after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a common phenomenon that presents in the emergency department. It is caused by a long period of bag-valve mask ventilation or esophageal intubation. However, a rare but life-threating diagnosis should be considered when distention progresses rapidly. Here, we reported a patient who developed a fever and abdominal pain that couldn’t be relieved by gastric decompression.
