Wooden chest syndrome (WCS) describes a finding of fentanyl-induced skeletal muscle rigidity causing ventilatory failure. Known primarily to anesthesiology, pulmonary, and critical care fields, WCS is a rare complication that may affect patients of all ages if exposed to intravenous fentanyl, characterized by a patient's inability to properly ventilate. Given the rise of synthetic opioid deaths across the United States in the past decade, an understanding of all of fentanyl's effects on the body is necessary. In this article, we present a case of WCS in a patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome in a 61-year-old female.
木质胸部综合征（WCS）描述了一种芬太尼引起的骨骼肌僵硬导致通气衰竭的现象。主要为麻醉学、肺病学和重症监护领域所熟知，WCS 是一种罕见的并发症，如果患者暴露于静脉内芬太尼，可能会影响所有年龄段的患者，其特征是患者无法正常通气。鉴于过去十年美国合成阿片类药物死亡人数的上升，有必要了解芬太尼对身体的所有影响。在本文中，我们报告了一例 61 岁女性急性呼吸窘迫综合征患者的 WCS 病例。
