  • Title: [Is it necessary to revalue the risk of a gas embolism complicating an intervention with carbon dioxide insufflation?].
    Author: Leroy JE, Le Péchon JC, Delafosse B, Fischler M.
    Journal: Ann Fr Anesth Reanim; 2007 May; 26(5):459-63. PubMed ID: 17369007.
    Abstract:
    Due to the characteristics of the carbon dioxide, gas embolism occurring during coelioscopy using this gas is usually considered as non critical. We report three observations of gas embolism which have occurred during laparoscopic surgery, one mild and two having led to death in spite of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. These observations prompted us to reevaluate the role of carbon dioxide in the severity of gas embolism.
