Air Embolus

Air embolisms are rare life-threatening complications that develop under various conditions, including surgery. During segmentectomy for thoracic surgery, air is blown into the selected bronchus for segment margin detection. This may result in the formation of an air embolus. Herein, we report a case of successful recovery from sudden intraoperative cardiac arrest due to an air embolism in a patient undergoing left superior division segmentectomy via open thoracotomy. Intraoperatively, the patient was positioned head-down. Upon blowing air into the bronchus, the patient suddenly developed cardiac arrest. Open-chest cardiac massage and low-temperature therapy were commenced and the patient recovered. The head-down position prevents the air embolus from reaching the brain and thus prevents severe brain damage, whereas continuous open-chest massage and low temperature prevents severe body damage from anticipated cardiac air embolism. Thus, operation in the head-down position is useful in preventing severe brain damage from brain air embolisms.
