Abstract

The authors encountered a patient with an indwelling central venous catheter who presented with pulmonary edema after the catheter hub was disconnected. Pulmonary arteriography demonstrated diffuse peripheral vasoconstriction, decreased arterial-to-venous transit time, and arterial occlusions. The former two findings allowed the authors to prospectively suggest the diagnosis of pulmonary air embolism.

摘要

作者遇到一位留置中心静脉导管的患者，该患者在导管接头断开后出现肺水肿。肺动脉造影显示弥漫性外周血管收缩、动静脉传输时间缩短以及动脉闭塞。前两项发现使作者能够前瞻性地提出肺空气栓塞的诊断。
