I have seen that as well, but our pt was on neopogen, which has a reported incidence of splenic rupture as well
we checked a CT becuase he developed hypotension and a large Hgb drop.

Subject: CPR and Organ injury

Does anyone know of any data that has been collected regarding organ injury
s/p CPR? Example if you have a patient that is resuscitated after cardiac
arrest, started on anti coagulation therapy because of DVT/PE and then
patient exsanguinates due to unrecognized splenic laceration (possibly
caused by CPR).

Does anyone routinely image (or is this vomit) patients that have had chest
compressions and possible solid organ injury? Should all CPR patients be
evaluated like a trauma?
