An abrupt decrease in end-tidal carbon dioxide (CO2) occurred in an anesthetized male who was placed in the head down position during radical perineal prostatectomy. The end-tidal CO2 was restored after insertion of a wet pack into the operative site, which strongly indicated venous air embolism as the cause. Predisposing factors, detection, and treatment of venous air embolism in this setting are discussed.
在根治性会阴前列腺切除术期间,一名处于头低位的麻醉男性患者出现呼气末二氧化碳(CO₂)突然下降。在手术部位插入湿纱布后呼气末CO₂恢复正常,这强烈提示静脉空气栓塞是病因。本文讨论了这种情况下静脉空气栓塞的易感因素、检测方法及治疗措施。
