Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a chain of urgent procedures aimed at maintaining a patent airway and restoring ventilation and circulation in an individual with cardiac arrest. Complications from appropriately applied resuscitative techniques are rare but can be encountered ( abdominal parenchymal injury, rib fractures, barotrauma). The authors present a case report of a five-month-old child with extensive barotrauma resulting from phone-assisted basic life support by a layperson (caregiver).
Keywords: basic life support, barotrauma, pneumothorax, pneumopericardium.
