Esophageal perforation is an uncommon but catastrophic complication of resuscitation with the esophageal obturator airway. Three cases of esophageal perforation are reported associated with combined use of an obturator airway and Thumper mechanical resuscitator. The possibility of increased risk when these devices are used together has not been previously discussed in the literature. This risk may be reduced by using lower balloon volumes, less aggressive compressor settings, and obturator airways modified for nasogastric drainage.
食管穿孔是食管阻塞气道复苏术一种罕见但灾难性的并发症。本文报告了3例与食管阻塞气道和胸外按压机械复苏器联合使用相关的食管穿孔病例。此前文献中尚未讨论过同时使用这些设备时风险增加的可能性。通过使用较低的球囊容积、较温和的按压设置以及改良用于鼻胃引流的食管阻塞气道，这种风险可能会降低。
