Abstract
EP, an 81-year-old female with a history of multiple metastases presented to the Emergency Department (ED) for shortness of breath. She developed respiratory failure requiring endotracheal intubation. She was successfully intubated, treated with etomidate, succinylcholine, propofol, fentanyl, and admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). A follow up chest CT at 2 hours demonstrated an incidental finding of pneumomediastinum.
