Massive tissue emphysema after cardiopulmonary resuscitation

The tracheotomized patient had a history of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung emphysema, renal failure, and critical illness polyneuropathy. The electrocardiogram demonstrated a sinus rhythm with a right bundle-branch block and no ST elevation. [...]we assume that a non-ST-elevation...

Description
Summary:The tracheotomized patient had a history of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung emphysema, renal failure, and critical illness polyneuropathy. The electrocardiogram demonstrated a sinus rhythm with a right bundle-branch block and no ST elevation. [...]we assume that a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction had caused the malignant arrhythmia.
