Background: Gastric inflation (GI) can induce gastric regurgitation and
subsequent aspiration pneumonia, which can prolong intensive care unit stay.
However, it has not been verified in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
(OHCA). This study aimed to investigate the incidence of GI during prehospital
resuscitation and its effect on aspiration pneumonia and resuscitation outcomes
in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Methods: This was a
multicenter, retrospective, observational study. Patients with non-traumatic OHCA
aged
