  • Title: Cardiac Arrest Caused by an Acute Intrathoracic Gastric Volvulus Treated With Percutaneous Gastrostomy.
    Author: Ter Avest E, Kamphuis DD, Sprakel J, Witteveen H, Hannivoort LN.
    Journal: Ann Emerg Med; 2021 Feb; 77(2):249-252. PubMed ID: 32950281.
    Abstract:
    During cardiopulmonary resuscitation, one of the first priorities after establishing basic and advanced life support is to identify the cause of the arrest. We present a rare case of cardiac arrest due to a decreased venous return from mediastinal shift caused by a paraesophageal hernia with an incarcerated thoracic gastric volvulus, which was treated by percutaneous gastrostomy.
