Key Points

To differentiate thorax fractures caused by cardiopulmonary resuscitation from those resulting from physical abuse in younger children.
Examined cases involving children aged 0–3 years
Analyzed frequency and morphology of thorax fractures from CPR
Identified patterns associated with fractures from cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Identified specific fracture patterns that differ from those typically seen in physical abuse
Frequency of thorax fractures due to CPR is notable in the studied age group

Abstract

Introduction: When cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been administered in cases of suspected child abuse, it is difficult to differentiate if thorax fractures were the result of CPR or physical abuse. The aim of this study was to identify thorax fractures resulting from CPR in 0–3-year-olds.
