dc.description.abstractThe apnea test is used for the diagnosis of brain death. Various complications have been reported to have developed during the apnea test. A 44-year-old woman was hospitalized in the intensive care unit due to unconsciousness due to a posterior inferior carotid artery aneurysm. On the forty-ninth day of her hospitalization in the intensive care unit, the patient had no motor response and all brain stem reflexes were negative. Brain death was considered in the patient, but subcutaneous emphysema and bilateral pneumothorax developed within minutes during the apnea test. The patient underwent bilateral tube thoracostomy. The patient could not be diagnosed with brain death and died on the fiftieth day of her hospitalization. This report emphasizes that multiple complications can be observed during the apnea test and underlying mechanisms and therapeutic approaches are discussed.en_US
