We present a case of gastric perforation in a middle-aged patient after CPR performed by his family. He eventually presented with bloody vomitus and a tympanic abdomen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Unconsciousness

  It causes the person to fall unconscious and stop breathing. Without CPR the person will die within minutes. CPR should only be used if someone is: unconscious and not breathing unconscious and not breathing normally. [bhf.org.uk]

  If the person becomes unconscious, give cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately. Here are some good informative video clips of cardiopulmonary resuscitation on adults and children. [dma.dk]

  Cardiopulmonary resuscitation ( CPR ), is emergency first aid for an unconscious person on whom breathing and pulse cannot be detected. mask for performing CPR on adults and nurslings. [commons.wikimedia.org]

  You should take the following steps if you’re in a situation that requires CPR: Check if the person is conscious or unconscious. If the person seems to be unconscious, tap or shake his or her shoulder and ask loudly if he’s ok. [westerncape.gov.za]

• Hypothermia

  To prevent neurological damage, therapeutic hypothermia was used, and she was cooled for 24 hours. After therapeutic hypothermia, her Glasgow coma score was 15, fortunately no sequela appeared. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Falling

  This case shows the importance of analysing the circumstances of a fall, considering the possibility of two concomitant diagnoses and prioritising investigations and treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Watch chest fall. Remove your mouth from the patient’s and look along the chest, watching the chest fall. Repeat steps five and six once. Photo: Ruth Jenkinson, Lizzie Orme 7. Repeat chest compressions and rescue breaths. [readersdigest.ca]

  Keeping their head tilted and chin lifted, take your mouth away and watch for the chest to fall as air comes out. Take another breath and repeat this sequence 4 more times. [nhs.uk]

  Seeing his enemy fall, he returned quietly home, and left the apparently dead body in the roadway. [web.archive.org]

• Fatigue

  Fatigue occurred bilaterally and time was the most important factor. Fatigue began at 2 minutes. Rescuers exert muscular countervailing forces in order to maintain effective compressions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  If you are not able to position yourself correctly and lock your elbows, it means you are too low relative to the patient and this may lead to less effective compressions and greater rescuer fatigue. [jove.com]

• Hypoxemia

  Most frequent suspected cardiac arrest causes were hypotension (n=98; 32.5%), multiple (19.2%) and hypoxemia (17.5%). Sixty (19.9%) cardiac arrests had do not resuscitate orders. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The mechanism of cardiac arrest in neurological disease is related to: loss of consciousness, causing airway obstruction, hypoxemia and respiratory arrest followed by cardiac arrest, or an increased risk of aspiration of gastric contents into the lungs [intechopen.com]

  Oxygen therapy should be initiated if dyspnea, hypoxemia, or signs of heart failure or shock are present. Noninvasive monitoring of arterial blood oxygen saturation may be used to determine the need for oxygen administration. [dx.doi.org]

• Aspiration

  The infant most probably experienced unwitnessed aspiration with subsequent severe cardiopulmonary insufficiency. This was paralleled by incidental hypothermia, i.e. a core body temperature of 32°C at time of resuscitation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  An occasional complication, however, is regurgitation followed by aspiration of gastric contents, causing life-threatening aspiration pneumonia in resuscitated patients. [merckmanuals.com]

• Abnormal Breathing

  BACKGROUND: Emergency 9-1-1 callers use a wide range of terms to describe abnormal breathing in persons with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). These breathing descriptors can obstruct the telephone cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) process. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Be sure to emphasize that there are two types of abnormal breathing: gasping (snoring or agonal respirations), and not breathing at all. [web.archive.org]

• Dyspnea

  We present a case of a 46-year-old woman who developed pulseless electrical activity (PEA) after complaining of weakness and dyspnea in an ambulance, presumptively diagnosed as acute PE by bedside focused echocardiography. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Interventions that minimize suffering and pain, dyspnea, delirium, convulsions, and other terminal complications should always be provided. [eccguidelines.heart.org]

• Agonal Respiration

  False-positives would likely be reduced if the question simply asked whether the patient was breathing, but then true arrest patients with agonal respirations would also be excluded. [doi.org]

  Be sure to emphasize that there are two types of abnormal breathing: gasping (snoring or agonal respirations), and not breathing at all. [web.archive.org]

  It is indicated in those who are unresponsive with no breathing or abnormal breathing, for example, agonal respirations. [educalingo.com]

• Vomiting

  Complications of CPR Vomiting is the most frequently encountered complication of CPR. If the victim starts to vomit, turn the head to the side and try to sweep out or wipe off the vomit. Continue with CPR. [depts.washington.edu]

  Seven bystanders stated they felt inadequately prepared to handle patients who vomited. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  If a victim vomits, turn him on his side and clear out the vomit with your fingers. It's possible to crack a rib during chest compressions, especially if the victim is elderly. [consumer.healthday.com]

  The effects of poisoning depend on the substance swallowed but can include vomiting, loss of conciousness, pain or a burning sensation. [hse.ie]

• Heart Disease

  METHODS: Between 1984 and 2015, all patients with congenital heart disease who received in or out-of-hospital CPR were identified from the database of congenital heart disease from the University Hospitals Leuven. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  He visited a local hospital's emergency department complaining of chest pain and dyspnea that had started 3 days earlier. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  This usually causes chest pain and leads to damage to some of the muscle of the heart. It may cause cardiac arrest, particularly in the early stages, but this is not inevitable. [resus.org.uk]

• Fracture

  Subtle fractures of the anterolateral aspects of the ribs were discovered in 8 (11%) of the 70 cases. In 7 of the 8 cases, multiple ribs were fractured (ranging up to 10 rib fractures), and in 5 of these cases, the rib fractures were bilateral. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Suggestibility

  In support of prior adult and animal investigations suggesting that basic CPRR is often performed poorly and at inappropriately slow rates, audio- prompted rate guidance during CPR in children resulted in higher PETCO2, suggesting improved CPR performance [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Stroke

  Many courses are offered in collaboration with the Red Cross, the Lifesaving Society and the Heart and Stroke Foundation, to be able to recognize emergencies and react in these situations. [pointe-claire.ca]

  The management of patients with acute stroke regarding treatment of thromboembolism is supported by a limited evidence base. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Adequate compression depth is essential in order to provide sufficient stroke volume to perfuse the heart and brain. Shallow compressions might lead to decreased stroke volume, thus causing reduced cardiac output. [jove.com]
