    AbstractA tracheobronchial rupture can be lethal. Its etiology in children varies and includes blunt trauma and iatrogenic injury. Most of the latter are associated with tracheal intubation, with other, iatrogenic causes scarcely being reported. We herein reported the first case of tracheobronchial rupture caused by chest compression during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The present case highlights the importance of close follow-up after cardiopulmonary resuscitation, even if the patients are not intubated.Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
