Rib fractures after chest compressions for cardiac arrest: retrospective analysis of the AfterROSC1 and AfterROSC2 multicenter databases [PDF]
Resuscitation PlusPurpose: External chest compressions for resuscitation after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) can cause rib fractures, which are best diagnosed by computed tomography (CT). We assessed the prevalence, management, and associations with outcomes of CT-
