case_images: His electrocardiogram post ROSC showed atrial fibrillation at 74 bpm with diffuse ST segment depressions in the anterolateral leads consistent with cardiac ischemia (Fig. 1).
case_images: Computerized tomography imaging of head without contrast (A)Demonstrates: high-grade subarachnoid hemorrhage (arrowhead) (B)Demonstrates: cisternal subarachnoid hemorrhage at the level of circle of Willis leading to intraventricular hemorrhage with hydrocephalus (arrowhead) (C)Demonstrates: loss of grey-white matter differentiation, a hallmark of anoxic brain injury (arrowhead).

case_images: CT of the head without contrast demonstrated a high-grade subarachnoid hemorrhage and intraventricular hemorrhage with hydrocephalus (Fig. 2A and B). The discussion between the neurology and neurosurgery teams revealed an irreversible anoxic brain injury for which compassionate extubation was performed (Fig. 2C).
