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.
