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 ...

Cerebral Arterial Gas Embolism During Upper Endoscopy

A & A Case Reports, 2015
Arterial gas embolism can be caused by direct entry of gas into systemic arteries or indirectly by venous-to-arterial shunting. Although arterial gas embolism is rare, most documented cases are iatrogenic, resulting from the entry of gas during procedures that involve direct vascular cannulation or intracavitary air insufflation.

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.

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 ...

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.

Venous and Arterial Gas Embolism Associated With Positive Pressure Ventilation

Chest, 1998
We report a 53-year-old woman with ARDS who required positive pressure ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure. She sustained an acute right ventricular myocardial infarction associated with cardiovascular instability. The next day she sustained a fatal cerebral arterial gas embolism.

Elevation of Serum Creatine Kinase in Divers with Arterial Gas Embolization

New England Journal of Medicine, 1994
Arterial gas embolism due to pulmonary barotrauma and the resultant cerebral gas embolism are catastrophic complications of diving. Previous studies have only rarely noted evidence of gas embolism to noncranial sites.Among 142 persons with diving-related injuries evaluated between January 1982 and July 1991, we identified 29 who had arterial gas ...

Improved Use of Arterial Blood Gas Analysis in Suspected Pulmonary Embolism

Chest, 1989
Since hypoxemia is not known to be a sensitive indicator of acute pulmonary embolism, we performed a retrospective study to determine whether an increased P(A-a)O2 gradient or hypocapnia improved the sensitivity of blood gas analysis in acute embolism.
