| Abstract |
Resuscitation attempts require invasive iatrogenic manipulations on the patient. On the one hand, these measures are essential for survival, but on the other hand can damage the patient and thus contain a significant violation risk of both medical and forensic relevance for the patient and the physician. We differentiate between frequent and rare resuscitation-related injuries. Factors of influence are duration and intensity of the resuscitation attempts, sex and age of the patient as well as an anticoagulant medication. Review of current literature and report on autopsy cases from our institute (approximately 1,000 autopsies per year). Frequent findings are lesions of tracheal structures and bony chest fractures. Rare injuries are lesions of pleura, pericardium, myocardium and other internal organs as well as vessels, intubation-related damages of neural and cartilaginous structures in the larynx and perforations of abdominal organs such as liver, stomach and spleen. We differentiate between frequent and rare complications. The risk of iatrogenic CPR-related trauma is even present with adequate execution of CPR measures and should not question the employment of proven medical techniques. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 November 2017.
All research outputs
#13,474,241
of 23,008,860 outputs
Outputs from Intensive Care Medicine
#3,723
of 5,016 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#72,660
of 88,024 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Intensive Care Medicine
#21
of 32 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,008,860 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,016 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 27.2. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 88,024 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 32 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
