He has had a motor vehicle accident 6 weeks prior with closed fracture of the right tibio-fibula and was treated conservatively with a cast. Subsequently, he arrested during intubation. He regained return of spontaneous circulation and was subsequently started on high- dose inotropes to sustain his blood pressure.
