Gastric Rupture following Nasopharyngeal Catheter Oxygen Delivery—A Report of Two Cases

Abstract: Iatrogenic gastric distension and subsequent rupture following nasal or nasopharyngeal catheter oxygen delivery is a rare but life-threatening condition that requires urgent laparotomy. We report two cases recently encountered at our institution. Both patients exhibited symptoms of abdominal pain and distension following oxygen delivery involving a nasopharyngeal catheter during procedural sedation. Oxygen flow rates were 4 l/minute in both cases. The diagnosis was made by urgent imaging. Both patients survive… Show more

“…Recent guidelines urge caution with simultaneous use of high‐flow nasal oxygen and facemask ventilation . Cases of pneumocephalus , pneumo‐orbitus , epistaxis, subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax , oesophagealrupture and gastric rupture have all been reported with use of nasal cannulae, largely in paediatrics.…”

“…One concern with nasopharyngeal oxygen insufflation is the risk of iatrogenic gastric rupture. A recent case report and literature search identified 19 cases since 1961 where oxygen was applied through nasopharyngeal or nasal catheter [ 10 ] in different clinical scenarios (respiratory insufficiency, procedural sedation or after operation). Patients were all breathing spontaneously.…”
