A member asked:

Is it normal for the stomach to increase in size after receiving cpr?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: Some air might get into stomach causing gastric distention. So you need to monitor it and give CPR appropriately. Gastric distention can negatively affect oxygen delivery to the lungs, making CPR less effective.
