In a prospective study of the complications of cardiac resuscitation, 705 cases were autopsied to identify the cause of death and the pathologic findings attributable to cardiac resuscitation. Thoracic complications were observed in 42.7 percent of the cases. A total of 31.6 percent had rib fractures, 21.1 percent had sternal fractures, and 18.3 percent were reported as having anterior mediastinal hemorrhage; 20.4 percent of the cases had an upper airway complication. Abdominal visceral complications were noted in 30.8 percent of the cases, and pulmonary complications occurred in 13 percent of the resuscitation population. Life-threatening complications, such as heart and great vessel injuries, occurred in less than .5 percent of the cases.
在一项关于心脏复苏并发症的前瞻性研究中，对705例患者进行了尸检，以确定死亡原因及与心脏复苏相关的病理发现。42.7%的病例观察到胸部并发症。共有31.6%的病例发生肋骨骨折，21.1%的病例发生胸骨骨折，18.3%的病例报告有前纵隔出血；20.4%的病例发生上呼吸道并发症。30.8%的病例出现腹部内脏并发症，13%的复苏患者发生肺部并发症。危及生命的并发症，如心脏和大血管损伤，发生率不到0.5%。
