  • Title: [Stomach rupture after nasal oxygen administration].
    Author: Adam M, Boughaba MA, Kuoch V, Blot F, Desruennes E.
    Journal: Ann Fr Anesth Reanim; 2004 Mar; 23(2):146-8. PubMed ID: 15030864.
    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).
