Gas embolism during hysteroscopy.
PURPOSE Gas embolism during hysteroscopy is rare but sometimes fatal. A fatal case of gas embolism during diagnostic hysteroscopy using carbon dioxide (CO2) is presented. CLINICAL FEATURES A 68 yr old woman was admitted for treatment of myoma and cancer of the uterus. Hysteroscopy using CO2 was performed without monitoring or anesthesia on the ward. At the end of the examination, just after t...
متن کاملCarbon Dioxide Embolism during Laparoscopic Surgery
Clinically significant carbon dioxide embolism is a rare but potentially fatal complication of anesthesia administered during laparoscopic surgery. Its most common cause is inadvertent injection of carbon dioxide into a large vein, artery or solid organ. This error usually occurs during or shortly after insufflation of carbon dioxide into the body cavity, but may result from direct intravascula...
متن کاملVenous gas embolism: An unusual complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Venous gas embolism (VGE) is a rare but potentially lethal complication of many forms of surgery, especially posterior fossa neurosurgery where the incidence is reported to be up to 80% - it can also occur in laparoscopic surgery. It usually occurs early in the procedure during insufflation of the abdomen. Rapid entry or large volumes of gas entering the venous circulation initiate a predictabl...
متن کاملGas embolism during laparoscopic liver resection in a pig model: frequency and severity.
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic liver surgery is evolving rapidly. Carbon dioxide embolism is a potential complication. The aim of this work was to study the frequency and severity of gas embolism (GE) during laparoscopic liver lobe resection in a pig model and the resulting cardiovascular and respiratory changes. METHODS Fifteen anaesthetized piglets underwent laparoscopic left liver lobe resection....
متن کاملIncidence of venous gas embolism during robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is lower than that during radical retropubic prostatectomy.
BACKGROUND Robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) is gaining popularity as a less traumatic and minimally invasive alternative to open radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP). The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and grade of venous gas embolism (VGE) during RALRP compared with those during RRP using transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE). METHODS Fifty-two...
