Air Embolism With Pneumocephalus
Archives of Neurology, 2009A 68-YEAR-OLD WOMAN with a history of poorly differentiated non–small-cell lung cancer underwent bronchoscopy because of coughing to look for possible recurrent disease. Theprocedurewas complicatedbysevere pulmonary hemorrhage resulting in a blood loss of 1 to 2 L and cardiac arrest with pulseless electrical activity.

Pulmonary air embolism is a well-known consequence of surgery, trauma, diving, and aviation. This article reviews the physiological effects, means of detection and methods of prevention and treatment of pulmonary air embolism. The primary physiological effects are elevated pulmonary artery pressures, increased ventilation-perfusion inhomogeneity, and ...

Abstract Arterial air embolism is an infrequent but often disastrous complication of various thoracic therapeutic procedures. Occasionally it may result paradoxically from air entering the systemic veins and reaching the systemic arteries through a septal defect, or possibly by other mechanisms.

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1987
Although fortunately rare, the serious and potentially fatal complication of air embolism continues to occur following open-heart surgery. Its reliable prevention is dependent on the avoidance of specific procedural hazards and the exercise of various maneuvers to evacuate residual air from the heart before it is allowed to eject.

To the Editor.— A letter on air embolism inThe Journal(240:1713, 1978) is informative on the pressure gradients that produce it. However, like other previous letters I have encountered on this subject in this and other journals, little or nothing is said on how to deal with the disorder once it is recognized.

This case report describes a new radiologic finding, that of an air-fluid level in the pulmonary artery. This is pathognomonic of venous air embolism when the patient has a chest film made in the upright position.

Abstract Sudden profound arterial hypotension caused by massive venous air embolism occurred in two patients undergoing neurosurgical operations in the sitting position. In both cases intra-operative monitoring included the continuous display of intra-arterial blood-pressure which facilitated prompt diagnosis.

AIR EMBOLISM IN PNEUMOPERITONEUM
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1951Air embolism is a dramatic and often catastrophic complication of pneumoperitoneum. It follows the entrance of large quantities of air into the pulmonary venous system through a systemic vein. Fortunately, its incidence is rare, but it occurs more frequently than the occasional report in the literature would seem to indicate.

A case is reported of fatal air embolism resulting from a fracture of the right mandible which was treated surgically by wiring the teeth to immobilize the fracture and extract a broken second premolar tooth. During the procedure cardiac arrest occurred.

Abstract Air embolism is a well recognized complication of wounds of the neck, criminal abortion and vaginal insufflation, death resulting within a few minutes. Delayed air embolism following criminal abortion has been described, but a search of the literature has failed to reveal a case of delayed air embolism following a wound in the neck.
