Is it possible to experience severe chest pain after a CPR procedure?
Patient: Hi my dad is in hospital after going into cardiac arrest twice on Monday. He was put into an induced coma and was wakened last night. The ecg came back clear after having a stent put in. Is it normal for him to have severe chest pain possibly after the cpr? Doctor: Hi,  During CPR the ribs may get injured or even rib fracture can happen. If pain persists, consult a physician and get evaluated. Wishing all the best.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards,      Dr. Shinas Hussain
