Documented arterial gas embolism after spinal epidural injection
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 2001We report the case of a 90-year-old man with syncope, arrhythmia, cardiac ischemia, and neurologic deficit after undergoing spinal epidural injection for control of pain related to post-herpetic neuralgia. The diagnosis of arterial gas embolus was made after air was identified in the left ventricle of the heart on an abdominal computed tomographic scan.

Decompression Sickness and Arterial Gas Embolism in Sports Scuba Divers
Sports Medicine, 1989Diving underwater with breathing apparatus is an increasingly popular sport. Consequently, the number of diving-related accidents, including both decompression sickness and arterial gas embolism, have increased. Though both involve bubbles, decompression sickness is a disease which involves gas bubbles forming in tissues and venous blood, while ...

Arterial Gas Embolism After CT-Guided Lung Biopsy
Undersea and Hyperbaric MedicineABSTRACT Zhu W, Moayedi S, Sethuraman K. Arterial Gas Embolism After CT-Guided Lung Biopsy. Undersea Hyperb Med. 2025 Second Quarter; 52(2):117-120. Arterial gas embolism (AGE) is a rare complication of percutaneous lung biopsy. We report a case of a patient undergoing lung biopsy complicated by AGE and transient ventricular tachycardia.

Revista de neurologia, 2004Arterial gas embolism (AGE) is a main iatrogenic complication resulting from the use of invasive procedures. It is difficult to diagnose if it is not clinically suspected.A 67-year-old male patient, with a history of interventions involving a mitral prosthesis and a double aortocoronary bypass, who visited Emergency room with symptoms of a high ...

Delayed onset arterial gas embolism.
Aviation, space, and environmental medicine, 1994Numerous civilian and military personnel are involved in SCUBA diving activities. In this day of rapid air travel it is important that all physicians, not just those living near the coast or dive centers, be familiar with the basics of diagnosing and treating diving-related injuries.

[Diving accident-induced arterial gas embolism].
Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 2018During scuba diving, nitrogen dissolves into the body tissues due to elevated pressure under water. During a sudden drop in pressure due to a rapid return to the water surface, arterial gas embolism can arise from pulmonary barotrauma. In a later phase, nitrogen bubbles can also arise in the venous circulation (decompression sickness). Arterial bubbles

Cutis marmorata and cerebral arterial gas embolism.
Diving and hyperbaric medicine, 2016Dr Kemper and colleagues reported that, when air was injected into the cerebral circulation of pigs, they developed a rash that looked very similar to cutis marmorata of cutaneous decompression illness (DCI) and to livido reticularis. They postulated that cutaneous DCI in divers may be centrally mediated as a result of cerebral gas embolism.
