We report one fatal and extensive systemic arterial air embolism because of one error that happened during a brain CT scan. The mechan...
متن کاملA Case of Iatrogenic Vascular Air Embolism Treated with Bipap and Nitroglycerin
Vascular air embolisms are very rare but fatal complication of diving and many procedures, mostly central line catheterizations. Treatment is mostly supportive with 100% oxygen and in severe cases, hyperbaric therapy. Recent therapy has shown that nitric oxide can decrease the rate of bubble formation in animal studies after compression. We describe a case of iatrogenic air embolism treated wit...
