Phrenic hernia is a rare condition in patients with multiple rib fractures after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We report a 28-year-old case of multiple injuries with multiple rib fractures who developed Phrenic hernia after cardiopulmonary resuscitation and underwent emergency surgery after sudden respiratory and cardiac arrest in ICU. This is the first report of Phrenic hernia after cardiopulmonary resuscitation after respiratory and cardiac arrest of multiple rib fractures in China.
