Cerebral venous air embolism, a hidden precursor of arterial ischemia: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports
Background Cerebral venous air embolism is a rare but potentially fatal complication of central venous catheter insertion and removal. Although most venous air emboli remain clinically silent or cause only transient symptoms, they may exceptionally lead ...

Computational Simulation of Hematocrit Effects on Arterial Gas Embolism Dynamics [PDF]

Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine, 2012
Recent computational investigations have shed light into the various hydrodynamic mechanisms at play during arterial gas embolism that may result in endothelial cell (EC) injury. Other recent studies have suggested that variations in hematocrit level may play an important role in determining the severity of neurological complications due to ...

Cerebral gas embolism in a patient without right-to-left shunt after robotic partial nephrectomy

JA Clinical Reports
Background Cerebral gas embolism is a rare but serious complication of laparoscopic surgeries, the risk of which is increased by the presence of right-to-left shunt. A case of cerebral gas embolism after robotic partial nephrectomy is presented.

Hydrogen peroxide: an unusual cause of arterial and venous gas embolism [PDF]

Anaesthesia, 1996
Summary A patient undergoing minor orthopaedic surgery suffered from unexpected arterial and venous gas embolism caused by hydrogen peroxide. We describe our management of the case and emphasise the need for continued vigilance during the use of hydrogen peroxide.

Induction of Cerebral Arterial Gas Embolism in Rat

Journal of Visualized Experiments
We present a methodological approach for preclinical research of cerebral arterial gas embolism (CAGE), a condition characterized by gas bubbles within the cerebral circulation causing multifocal ischemia. The current work describes two surgical methods to induce CAGE in the rat: one with injection of air via the external carotid artery (ECA), thereby ...

A Systematic Review of the Causes and Management of Ischaemic Stroke Caused by Nontissue Emboli

Stroke Research and Treatment, 2017
Introduction. The inadvertent or purposeful introduction of foreign bodies or substances can lead to cerebral infarction if they embolize to the brain.

Venous gas embolism: An unusual complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Journal of Minimal Access Surgery, 2009
Venous gas embolism (VGE) is a rare but potentially lethal complication of many forms of surgery, especially posterior fossa neurosurgery where the incidence is reported to be up to 80% - it can also occur in laparoscopic surgery.

Cerebral gas embolism and multifocal ischemic stroke during oxygen-ozone therapy: a case report

BMJ Neurology Open
Introduction Ischaemic stroke, primarily caused by thromboembolic events, typically arises as a consequence of underlying vascular or cardiac pathology.
