Survey of Anesthesiology, 1982
Patients with the fat embolism syndrome are reported to have a severe course, with mortality as high as 15 percent. Recent studies have attributed improved prognosis to one or another treatment modality. We reviewed the 54 patients with clinical evidence of the posttraumatic fat embolism syndrome documented at the Foothills Hospital from 1968 to 1977 ...

Radiology, 1975
The "shock lung syndrome," whenever associated with trauma, is probably in part the consequence of fat emboli, though aspiration, disseminated intravascular coagulation, microatelectasis, pulmonary edema, and hemorrhage due to other lung insults may be important in the etiology of many cases.

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1987
The clinical fat embolism syndrome consisting of progressive pulmonary insufficiency, cerebral disfunction, and petechiae is rare. Following severe skeletal trauma, fat droplets appear in the circulating blood and embolize the capillaries of the lungs and other organs.

Critical Care Medicine, 1987
Hypoxemia following long bone or pelvic fracture (LBPF) is often attributed to fat embolism syndrome (FES), but the true incidence and etiology of postfracture pulmonary shunt (Qsp) are not well defined. Over 12 months, 92 patients with LBPF admitted to a Level I trauma center were prospectively evaluated.

Injury, 1997
The classical fat embolism syndrome comprises the symptoms of petechial rash, pulmonary distress and mental disturbances with an onset 24-48 h following a pelvic or long-bone fracture. Although the first description of the fat embolization process is ascribed to Zenker’ in an article published in 1862, he only mentioned the presence of fat in the lung ...

Postgraduate Medicine, 1977
Fat emboli are a life-threatening source of respiratory insufficiency. Whether they are of mechanical or chemical origin remains a subject of controversy. Fat embolism syndrome is most often seen after fracture of long bones, and immobilization of the fracture site may decrease risk of its development.

American journal of orthopedics (Belle Mead, N.J.), 2003
Fat embolization and the clinical syndrome associated with this pathology are poorly understood complications of skeletal trauma. Fat embolization is characterized by release of fat droplets into systemic circulation after a traumatic event. Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is an infrequent clinical consequence of fat embolization. Classically, FES presents

Fat embolism in humans was first recognized in 1861 by Zenker (1) who described fat droplets in the lung of a railroad worker who had suffered a fatal thoracoabdominal crush injury. Despite the patient’s multiple fractures, Zenker believed the fat to have originated from the contents of a lacerated stomach.
