abstract="A thirty-five-year-old male collapsed due to attempted suicide by hanging himself. An emergency life-saving technician performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for him with tracheal intubation and infusion of 1 mg of epinephrine at the scene of the hanging. During transportation, bloody foamy fluid caused by chest compression was observed through the intubation tube. The CPR was successful, but, after arriving at the hospital, recovery of spontaneous circulation could not be obtained. A chest roentgen demonstrated severe bilateral lung edema. An autopsy was not permitted by his family. Pulmonary edema complicating hanging is extremely rare. For this reason, we introduced the previous Oswalt's hypothesises concerning this mechanism.<p /><p>Language: ja</p>",
