Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of death and disability internationally. Alveolar hypoxia and consequent hypoxemia increase in prevalence as disease severity increases.
If severe, subcutaneous emphysema can cause compression of the upper airway and jugular venous compression, which can lead to airway and cardiovascular compromise [2]. Clinically, patients can develop dysphonia and dysphagia as air dissects into the tissue planes of the neck.
