Things to keep in mind after cardiopulmonary resuscitation: bilateral severe and widespread subcutaneous emphysema together with unilateral pneumothorax
Journal Title: The European Research Journal - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can cause severe complications such as rib and sternal fracture, pneumothorax or hemothorax. In this article, we report a case of widespread and severe bilateral subcutaneous emphysema and unilateral iatrogenic pneumothorax that does not correlate with the severity of the emphysema that occurred after active CPR.
