Abstract

Acute pancreatitis has been reported as a complication of cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. However, necrotizing pancreatitis as a subsequent complication has not. Because pancreatic necrosis develops 7-10 days after the initial episode of pancreatitis, it may be difficult to identify and, therefore, diagnose. This case details the course of a patient who developed infected necrotizing pancreatitis after receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation after cardiac arrest.

Keywords: acute necrotizing pancreatitis; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; ischemia; wounds and injuries.
