Abstract

We report a case of a spontaneous rupture of a normal stomach after therapeutic oxygen administration. In this case, early treatment precluded the need for a laparotomy. This rare complication highlights the importance of the right positioning of a nasal catheter and leads us to question its role compared to other means of oxygen delivery (nasal cannulae, Hudson mask, Venturi mask).
