摘要
Venous air embolism occurs when air is entrained into the venous system and travels to the right heart and pulmonary circulation, and commonly occurs as a complication in laparoscopic, neurosurgical and cardiac surgeries. We present a case of abnormal end-tidal carbon dioxide capnography tracing in the lateral position in a laparoscopic major liver procedure and discuss the potential novel use of this as a red flag in aiding the medical practitioner to diagnose air embolism.
