Gas Embolism: Part II. Arterial Gas Embolism and Decompression Sickness

Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 1996
Gas emboli syndromes are known to occur in many different settings, and they may result in life-threatening emergencies. Venous gas embolization was discussed previously in Part I of this review. Gas emboli that gain access to the arterial circulation or that result from exposures to decreased ambient pressures in the environment are discussed in Part

Delayed hyperbaric oxygen therapy for severe arterial gas embolism following scuba diving: a case report.

Undersea & Hyperbaric Medicine, 2019
We present the case of a 42-year-old female who was critically ill due to an arterial gas embolism (AGE) she experienced while diving in Maui, Hawaii. She presented with shortness of breath and dizziness shortly after surfacing from a scuba dive and then

Cerebral Artery Gas Embolism Following Navigational Bronchoscopy

Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 2018
Introduction: Cerebral artery gas embolism (CAGE) is a rare but serious adverse event with potentially devastating neurologic sequelae. Bronchoscopy is a frequently performed procedure but with only a few reported cases of CAGE. Methods: We report the first documented case of CAGE associated with electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy. Results: A 61-

Determinants of arterial gas embolism after scuba diving

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2012
Scuba diving is associated with breathing gas at increased pressure, which often leads to tissue gas supersaturation during ascent and the formation of venous gas emboli (VGE). VGE crossover to systemic arteries (arterialization), mostly through the patent foramen ovale, has been implicated in various diving-related pathologies.

Arterial Gas Embolism and Decompression Sickness

Physiology, 2002
Decompression sickness occurs when a sufficiently large gas phase forms within the tissues of the body after a reduction in ambient pressure. Arterial gas embolism occurs secondary to pulmonary barotrauma when gas is forced into the pulmonary vasculature.

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 ...

Investigation of air bubble behaviour after gas embolism events induced in a microfluidic network mimicking microvasculature.

Lab on a Chip
Gas embolism is a medical condition that occurs when gas bubbles are present in veins or arteries, decreasing blood flow and potentially reducing oxygen delivery to vital organs, such as the brain. Although usually reported as rare, gas embolism can lead
