“…Unlike numeric data obtained from the blood pressure waveform, TEE permits an instant and direct assessment of both structural and dynamic functions of the heart. [12,13] Moreover, TEE has been reported to be relatively safe, as it showed low incidence of hemorrhagic complication despite the presence of esophageal varices. [14,15] Therefore, TEE should always be considered for patients with prolonged PRS, especially for patients with a high risk of developing an LVOT obstruction.…”

“…Magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography may also be useful in documenting cerebral gas. TOE can detect air bubbles as small as 2 micrometres in diameter 24 . Alternatively, transthoracic echocardiography is less invasive but provides much poorer image resolution than TOE 25 .…”

Systemic air embolism is a potentially lethal often unrecognised complication of severe chest trauma. We present a case of delayed diagnosis of cerebral air embolism in a patient with severe thoracic trauma. The initiation of positive pressure ventilation, systemic hypotension, intraparenchymal chest drains and aerial transfer to an intensive care unit were all factors contributing to the development of systemic air embolism. The common clinical features, diagnostic tests and management of systemic air emboli are discussed.

“…[27] Perioperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) may be required if parturient condition deteriorates and simultaneous cardiac surgery is planned. [28] Air bubble precautions should be universally taken in any cardiac patient, especially with those having shunts to prevent paradoxical embolism.…”

Management of pregnant women with heart disease remains challenging due to the advancement of innovations in cardiac surgery and correction of complex cardiac anomalies, and more recently, with the successful performance of heart transplants, cardiac diseases are not only likely to coexist with pregnancy, but will also increase in frequency over the years to come. In developing countries with a higher prevalence of rheumatic fever, cardiac disease may complicate as many as 5.9% of pregnancies with a high incidence of maternal death. Since many of these deaths occur during or immediately following parturition, heart disease is of special importance to the anesthesiologist. This importance arises from the fact that drugs used for preventing or relieving pain during labor and delivery exert a major influence – for better or for worse – on the prognosis of the mother and newborn. Properly administered anesthesia and analgesia can contribute to the reduction of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity.
