Abstract
During cardiopulmonary resuscitation, one of the first priorities after establishing basic and advanced life support is to identify the cause of the arrest. We present a rare case of cardiac arrest due to a decreased venous return from mediastinal shift caused by a paraesophageal hernia with an incarcerated thoracic gastric volvulus, which was treated by percutaneous gastrostomy.
