Abstract
Postoperative nausea and vomiting is common, but rarely produces life-threatening symptoms. We describe a case of massive mediastinal and subcutaneous emphysema, which developed immediately after postoperative vomiting in the postanesthesia recovery unit and caused imminent airway compromise, requiring emergent fiberoptic endotracheal intubation.
