GIRALDO, Mauricio; LOPERA, Luz María e ARANGO, Miguel. Venous air embolism in neurosurgery. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2015, vol.43, suppl.1, pp.40-44. ISSN 0120-3347.
Venous air embolism is a potentially serious neurosurgical complication. Every neurosurgical procedure is at risk of developing the condition but the sitting and semi-sitting position represent a higher risk. The neuroanesthesiologist plays a key role in the management of the venous air embolism, from diagnosis to treatment. This article reviews the literature on air embolism in terms of its incidence, etiology, diagnosis and therapy.
