Three serial cases of fatal venous air embolism were reported after mandibular prosthetic dental surgery. Initially attributed to anesthetic factors, the deaths resulted from intraosseous irrigation with coolant tap water and air. Pulmonary edema was seen on chest roentgenograms and might have
Carbon dioxide embolism is a well-known complication of laparoscopy that can be lethal. We describe a patient who showed signs of pulmonary interstitial edema revealing a probable gas embolism. This event occurred during a gynecologic laparoscopy performed for uterine perforation after a curettage.
We report a case of unilateral pulmonary edema due to the decompensation of an asymptomatic ipsilateral pulmonary venous stenosis by a contralateral pulmonary embolism. Emergency surgery included pulmonary embolectomy and refashioning of the stenotic pulmonary venous anastomosis.
Acute pulmonary edema after a large air embolus occurring during neurosurgery is a recognized phenomenon. The authors describe the course of a 76-year-old man who presented with noncardiogenic pulmonary edema shortly after undergoing resection of a high convexity meningioma. Transthoracic Doppler
A case of cerebral air embolism responding immediately to compression to 6 atm is described. The patient, however, developed apparent cerebral edema while being decompressed. Subsequent recompression on oxygen was carried out twice daily at 60 ft (18 m, 2.8 ATA) for 60 min until the patient's
We report the unique occurrence of bilateral pulmonary edema in a patient with a small focal pulmonary embolus without evidence of underlying cardiac or pulmonary disease. The most likely mechanism for this involves the release of humoral factors leading to extravasation of fluid across pulmonary
We report an uncommon case of amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) in a 24-year-old woman with a 26th-week, second pregnancy. Clinical manifestations were dominated by acute respiratory distress and pulmonary edema. Recovery was complete. Early invasive hemodynamic studies showed normal function of the
We report the case of a patient with a febrile acute respiratory failure associated with alveolar opacities localized in the left upper lobe on chest-X-ray. Diagnosis was related to pulmonary embolism with overflow pulmonary edema. Complete recovery was obtained after mechanical ventilation,
In an effort to duplicate a previous model of neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE), we maintained intracranial pressure (PIC) at 20 Torr below mean arterial pressure in six closed-chested dogs anesthetized with alpha-chloralose and urethan. This was accomplished by infusing 1) isotonic saline (NS), 2) a
Venous air embolism is a major hazard during surgical procedures in the sitting position and is known to cause acute pulmonary edema in animal experiments (6, 7, 17). In man some cases of pulmonary edema immediately following air embolism have been described (10, 15, 16). In this case report we
We report here the occurrence of focal pulmonary edema within 4 h after massive acute pulmonary embolism. The edema appeared to develop only in areas with intact pulmonary arterial blood flow and occurred in the apparent absence of left ventricular dysfunction. This pattern of pulmonary edema after
A 22-yr-old man developed severe pulmonary edema after blowing air into tubing connected to a catheter inserted in a vein in his forearm. Pulmonary edema was rapid in onset, peaking in intensity about 12 h after the air had been insufflated. The patient's edema fluid to plasma protein concentration
Cerebral air embolism (CAE) is a rare neurologic complication that can occur in patients undergoing various medical procedures or trauma. CAE can sometimes result in death caused by severe brain edema. In spite of these implications, the pathophysiologic mechanisms and radiologic features of fatal
A 37-year-old patient undergoing operative hysteroscopy developed noncardiogenic pulmonary edema after fluid absorption of 6 L of Ringer's lactate distension solution. No electrolyte or neurologic sequelae were associated with this fluid absorption. A subsequent 35-year-old patient having similar
Air embolism in the coronary arteries is a known complication of coronary angiography. Diving is a non-iatrogenic cause of arterial air embolism, commonly presenting with neurological and musculoskeletal symptoms. This is the first known case of coronary air embolism confirmed on coronary
