摘要
This is a report of a 39-year-old parturient who had a haemodynamically compromising venous air embolism during a repeat Caesarean section under lumbar epidural anaesthesia. The embolism occurred immediately after surgical incision during surgery in the superficial subcutaneous tissues. The diagnosis was made using intraoperative precordial ultrasonic Doppler monitoring which allowed early and successful treatment. © 1990 Canadian Anesthesiologists.
