giving breaths during rescue breathing.
stomach contents entering the lungs.
Gastric distention in rescue - breathing occurs when air is forced into the stomach instead of the lungs. Giving breaths too quickly or forcefully can cause air to go down the esophagus into the stomach. Loose teeth/dentures entering the stomach is not related to gastric distention during rescue - breathing. Just giving breaths is not specific enough to cause it. Stomach contents entering the lungs is aspiration, not the cause of gastric distention.
