摘要
The authors encountered a patient with an indwelling central venous catheter who presented with pulmonary edema after the catheter hub was disconnected. Pulmonary arteriography demonstrated diffuse peripheral vasoconstriction, decreased arterial-to-venous transit time, and arterial occlusions. The former two findings allowed the authors to prospectively suggest the diagnosis of pulmonary air embolism.
