Ill-effects of cardiac resuscitation: report of two unusual cases

S G Atcheson et al. Chest. 1975 May.

Abstract

Two mishaps associated with closed-chest cardiac resuscitation are presented. One-pneumoperitoneum-became evident during life, created considerable diagnostic difficulty, and evoked treatment that possibly hastened the patient's death. The other-cardiac puncture-appeared at autopsy and its mechanism may be unique.
