Intraoperative cardiac arrest after unrecognized dynamic hyperinflation

We report a case of intraoperative dynamic hyperinflation (“gas trapping”) which led to cardiac arrest, with electromechanical dissociation. The features of this poorly recognized phenomenon are described. (Br. J. Anaesth, 1995; 74: 340–342)
