Cardiopulmonary Arrest and Pneumoencephaly Developing after Epidural Oxygen-ozone Mixture Therapy

چکیده
Pain treatment can comprise a combination of pharmacological, interventional, surgical, physical, psycological methods. Interventional procedures, particularly minimally invasive percutaneous therapies, have been widely used in recent years. Corticosteroid, hyperbaric saline or oxygen-ozone therapy is a safe procedure for patients in whom pain cannot be relieved by epidural adhesiolysis or other treatments. Complication related to oxygen-ozone therapy have been reported rarely in lumbar sciatalgia. Herein, we present a patient who developed cardiopulmonary arrest and pneumoencephaly as a rare but life-threatening complication of oxygen-ozone therapy, for epidural lysis, applied to the epidural space due to low back pain.

Cardiac arrest during neuraxial anesthesia is a serious adverse event, which may lead to significant neurological damage and death if not treated promptly. The associated mechanisms are neglected respiratory failure, extensive sympathetic block, local anaesthetic toxicity, total spinal block, in addition to the growing awareness of the vagal predominance as a predisposing factor. In the case re...
