TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 57. Respiratory Arrest in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Suite A1 - Doyle, D. John A2 - Hung, Orlando A2 - Murphy, Michael F. PY - 2012 T2 - Management of the Difficult and Failed Airway, 2e AB - Mr. S is a 52-year-old entrepreneur in the waste management industry. He weighs 262 lb (approximately 119 kg), is 5 ft 9 in (approximately 175 cm) tall, and is being investigated for dizzy spells that appear to be panic attacks. His medical problem list includes obesity, untreated hypertension, and possible obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (based on his wife's nocturnal observation that "sometimes he just stops breathing"). When questioned, he admits to extreme claustrophobia, possibly the result of a protracted period of time spent in a car trunk as a child. A previous attempt at a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan was unsuccessful because Mr. S, startled by the onset of the loud noises made by the MRI machine, panicked and tried to get out of the MRI scanner, pulling out his IV in the process.
