Abstract

Traumatic spinal cord injuries occurring after cardiac arrest are rare. In such cases, injury to the cervical cord may result from the intubation of a patient during resuscitation. We report a very unusual case where cardiac arrest occurring during cardiac rehabilitation resulted in an unexpected traumatic cervical spinal cord injury.
