Massive Air Embolism As A Complication Of Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: A Case Report Illustrating A Stroke Mimic, Literature Review, And Suggested Management
CLINICAL CASE REPORTS（2018）
Abstract
Key Clinical MessageCerebral air embolism should be considered in case of stroke symptoms during any invasive procedure. Transport to a hospital with neurosurgical/hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) facility could improve the outcome for the patient. Absence of air on computed tomography (CT) scan should not disqualify a patient from HBOT if air embolism is suspected.
