Abstract
Based on a small retrospective study, liver lacerations requiring intervention occurred in 43% of gravidas patients that survived CPR, and is significantly higher than published rates (0.6-2.1%) for the general patient population. Further studies are indicated to determine the incidence of liver injury after peripartum CPR.
