A young male with abdominal distention and fever after cardiopulmonary resuscitation treatment

摘要

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.
