Comparison of a transesophageal and precordial ultrasonic Doppler sensor in the detection of venous air embolism.
Early detection and prompt treatment are important factors that limit morbidity and mortality secondary to venous air embolism (VAE) (1). The precordial Doppler ultrasonic sensor and transesophageal echocardiograph are the two most sensitive monitors currently available to detect VAE (2,3). The Aloka SSD-870 transesophageal echocardiograph is equipped with a Doppler sensor at the distal end of ...
متن کاملClinical diagnosis by transcutaneous Doppler ultrasound.
Introduction The past few years have seen a vast proliferation in the use of ultrasound to diagnose circulatory disorders. This increasing interest reflects the fact that many tests are non-invasive, reliable, provide bedside answers and do not require large investment of equipment or personnel. Ultrasound systems have been used clinically in two ways. Firstly, ultrasound can provide an anatomi...
متن کاملDiagnosis and treatment of vascular air embolism.
Vascular air embolism is a potentially life-threatening event that is now encountered routinely in the operating room and other patient care areas. The circumstances under which physicians and nurses may encounter air embolism are no longer limited to neurosurgical procedures conducted in the "sitting position" and occur in such diverse areas as the interventional radiology suite or laparoscopi...
متن کاملAir Embolism: Diagnosis, Clinical Management and Outcomes
Air embolism is a rare but potentially fatal complication of surgical procedures. Rapid recognition and intervention is critical for reducing morbidity and mortality. We retrospectively characterized our experience with air embolism during medical procedures at a tertiary medical center. Electronic medical records were searched for all cases of air embolism over a 25-year period; relevant medic...
متن کاملPrecordial Doppler probe placement for optimal detection of venous air embolism during craniotomy.
Verification of appropriate precordial Doppler probe position over the anterior chest wall is crucial for early detection of venous air embolism. We studied responses to normal saline (NS) and carbon dioxide (CO2) test injections at various probe locations during elective craniotomy. All patients received four IV injections (10 mL of NS and 1 mL of CO2 via central and peripheral venous catheter...
