Paradoxical cerebral arterial gas embolism: Computed tomography findings

Australasian Radiology, 2007
SUMMARYComputed tomography scan findings are described in cerebral arterial gas embolism in two patients with right to left intracardiac shunts by accidental injection of air during intravenous therapy. Although imaging may not be necessary to diagnose the condition, the patient may be referred to CT scan as a case of stroke.

Documented arterial gas embolism after spinal epidural injection

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 2001
We 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.

Abnormal serum biochemistries in association with arterial gas embolism

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1997
Although diving-associated arterial gas emboli have been thought to embolize the cerebral circulation preferentially, more recent evidence suggests that gas bubbles disseminate widely and may cause dysfunction in multiple organ systems. We performed a retrospective survey of the records of patients presenting with diving-associated gas embolism over a ...

Gas embolism: an exceptional complication of radial arterial catheterization

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 2004
Background:  We report a rare complication of radial arterial catheterization in a 74‐year‐old man who had undergone retroperitoneal surgery for an infra‐renal aortic aneurysm. A right subclavian venous catheter and a right radial artery catheter were inserted for hemodynamic monitoring.Results:  The patient suddenly went into a coma, with dyspnea and ...

Delayed Presentation of Cerebral Arterial Gas Embolism Following Proven Intraoperative Venous Air Embolism

Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology, 1996
We describe the case of a 33-year-old woman who suffered a delayed-onset arterial gas embolism following a significant venous air embolism during surgery to remove an acoustic neuroma. We report the management of the problem and discuss the mechanisms by which this event might have occurred.

[Diving accident-induced arterial gas embolism].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 2018
During 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

Cerebral vasoreactivity and arterial gas embolism.

Undersea biomedical research, 1986
Compression regimens effect redistribution of entrapped cerebral arterial gas emboli by reducing embolus length and/or by increasing local perfusion pressure. Embolus length is related to embolus volume and vessel diameter. It has been assumed without evidence that cerebral arterial gas emboli induce local vasoparalysis and hence that the relevant ...

Delayed onset arterial gas embolism.

Aviation, space, and environmental medicine, 1994
Numerous 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.
