Abstract
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) has been performed for the benefit of a successful restoration of a spontaneous circulation although the risk of complications. Despite there are few reports of massive gastric distension causing gastric rupture and pneumoperitoneum after CPR, pneumoperitoneum and esophageal rupture has been rarely reported. We report a case of lower esophageal perforation associated with massive pneumoperitoneum after CPR. Prompt intervention should be performed to repair perforation to decrease the morbidity and mortality.
