Venous air embolus (VAE) occurs when gas, specifically atmospheric air, enters into the vascular system. Although rare, they can be fatal due to risk of cardiovascular collapse. In this report, we present a unique case of a 66-year-old female trauma patient with an inferior vena cava air embolism. An overview of the potential cause is presented, along with a review of the management of VAE.
静脉空气栓塞（VAE）是指气体，特别是大气中的空气进入血管系统时发生的情况。虽然罕见，但由于有心血管崩溃的风险，它们可能是致命的。在本报告中，我们介绍了一例66岁女性创伤患者发生下腔静脉空气栓塞的独特病例。本文概述了潜在病因，并对VAE的处理进行了综述。
