Sammanfattning

Venous air embolism (VAE) is a well-known complication to trauma and various surgical, diagnostic and therapeutically procedures. Small iatrogenic VAE during contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CeCT) are frequent and often asymptomatic. We present a case of iatrogenic VAE during CeCT, where the patient instead of contrast had 100 ml of atmospheric air injected intravenously. The patient developed symptoms of VAE with clinical cardiac arrest, but survived and was discharged without any clinical evidence of embolic sequelae five days after the tomography.
