Air embolism following peripheral intravenous access August 22, 2019
We present a case of symptomatic venous air embolism likely arising from peripheral intravenous access gained during an interventional pain procedure” Vinan-Vega et al 92019). Abstract: Air embolism is a rare, often misdiagnosed, potentially fatal condition. It is most frequently associated with invasive vascular procedures and mechanical ventilation. Air em […]
