Abstract

Cerebral air embolism is potentially a catastrophic event that occurs as a consequence of air entry into the vasculature. We report a mechanically ventilated 72-year-old woman who underwent multiple procedures during intensive care stay with few possible sources of emboli postulated. We also discuss regarding the preventive measures to minimise the risk of air embolism.

摘要

脑空气栓塞可能是一种灾难性事件，它是空气进入血管系统的结果。我们报告了一名72岁接受机械通气的女性，她在重症监护期间接受了多项操作，推测可能的栓子来源很少。我们还讨论了将空气栓塞风险降至最低的预防措施。
