Aug 17th, 2020 - Neurological surgery in the semi-sitting position is linked with a pronounced incidence of venous air embolism (VAE) which can be fatal and therefore requires continuous monitoring. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) provides a high sensitivit...

Aug 12th, 2020 - Systemic air embolism secondary to venous air embolism is a known complication of sitting position surgery. However, the possibility of an isolated systemic air embolism must be considered, especially in patients with preexisting lung disease rece...

Mar 11th, 2020 - BACKGROUND Various factors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of infarction after posterior fossa surgery such as venous air embolism, patient's position (seated or prone), hyperflexion of the neck, excessive spinal cord traction, cervical c...

Feb 9th, 2020 - To evaluate whether preflushing before connecting a power injector to a patient's catheter reduces the incidence of venous air embolism (VAE) in contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA). With the approval from the local ethics ...

Nov 6th, 2019 - Systemic arterial air embolism (SAAE) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition that may occur when air enters into pulmonary veins or directly into the systemic circulation after pulmonary procedures (biopsy or resection) or penetratin...
