    Abstract:
    A 84-year-old man who had experienced cardiac arrest in the ambulance was brought to the emergency room. He had been followed at outpatient after surgery for colon cancer and known to be suffered from mild renal impairment. The cardio pulmonary arrest was likely to be caused by acute exacerbation of that. He was resuscitated and immediately recovered without severe hypoxic encephalopathy or deterioration of renal function. However, the flail chest by manual cardiac compression sustained. It urged him to be managed under the ventilator and he seemed difficult to leave from that within a couple of weeks. So we decided to perform surgery. The course after surgery was favorable.
