Successful late treatment of venous air embolism with hyperbaric oxygen.
A case of haemodialysis-associated venous air embolism is described. The patient commenced hyperbaric oxygen therapy 21 hours after the event when, despite appearing decerebrate, he made a complete recovery. This case underlines the importance of all clinicians being aware of those centres with facilities for hyperbaric therapy and the need to refer all patients with cerebral air embolism even ...
متن کاملCase reports: hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of cerebral air embolism.
Cerebral air embolism is one of the most deleterious disorders that may affect divers, but it is also a possible complication of surgeries and medical procedures. We report our experience with iatrogenic cerebral air embolism and hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
متن کاملCerebral venous air embolism treated with hyperbaric oxygen: a case report.
We present a case of cerebral venous gas embolism. Our patient made a complete neurological recovery after hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). The principles of HBOT, compressing and eliminating air bubbles and decreasing Β-2 integrin function, thus improving microcirculation, can only be beneficial in a situation where neurological damage is likely. Retrograde cerebral venous gas embolism is a l...
متن کاملRetrograde cerebral perfusion and delayed hyperbaric oxygen for massive air embolism during cardiac surgery.
We report a case of massive air embolism from a ventricular vent line during cardiac surgery successfully treated with emergent retrograde cerebral perfusion and delayed hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The etiologies of this rare but potentially devastating complication are discussed along with prevention and treatment options.
متن کاملHyperbaric oxygen therapy of iatrogenic cerebral arterial gas embolism.
We describe our experience using HBO2 therapy for iatrogenic cerebral arterial gas embolism (CAGE) in this retrospective review of nineteen patients treated for iatrogenic CAGE, from 1987 to 1999. Immediately after treatment, five patients completely resolved all signs and symptoms, eleven had improvement, one had no change, and two were not assessable. Within two months post treatment, three a...
