Fig. 14. Intramural gas in GI tract unassociated with CPR in 72-year-old deceased woman who did not undergo CPR (case 16). CT scan obtained 1 hour and 48 minutes after death shows intramural gas throughout GI tract (arrows) similar to case 15. CPR was not performed before death due to patient's DNR order.
