“…Less often, CPR causes fractures of the larynx or injury to the stomach, spleen, heart, or liver [ 36 , 37 ]. Gastric injuries are less frequent [ 38 , 39 , 40 ] but are a potentially lethal complication after initial successful resuscitation [ 40 ]. Resuscitation-associated major liver injury, such as rupture or laceration, and hemorrhage or hematoma are also rare and indicate compromised hemostasis with no significant influence on the overall outcome [ 41 ].…”

(1) Background: Injuries related to resuscitation are not usually systematically recorded and documented. By evaluating this data, conclusions could be drawn about the quality of the resuscitation, with the aim of improving patient care and safety. (2) Methods: We are planning to conduct a multicentric, retrospective 3-phased study consisting of (1) a worldwide literature review (scoping review), (2) an analysis of anatomical pathological findings from local institutions in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany to assess the transferability of the review data to the German healthcare system, and (3) depending on the results, possibly establishing potential prospective indicators for resuscitation-related injuries as part of quality assurance measures. (3) Conclusions: From the comparison of literature and local data, the picture of resuscitation-related injuries will be focused on and quality indicators will be derived.
