Overview

Patients with an air embolism usually appear distressed and can have symptoms from various different organ systems.

Physical Examination

  • Patients with air embolism usually appear distressed.
  • Physical examination may be remarkable for:
  • Cardiovascular Findings:[1] [2]
    • Arrythmias
    • Murmmurs
    • Jugular venous distension
    • Hypotension
    • ST and T wave changes
    • Pulmonary arterial hypertension
    • Increased central venous pressure
    • Shock and cardiovascular collapse
  • Respiratory Findings:[3][4]
    • Rales/ wheezing
    • Tachypnea
    • Hemoptysis
    • Cyanosis
    • Decreased End Tidal Co2
    • Hypercapnia
    • Pulmonary edema
    • Apnea
  • Central Nervous System Findings:[5][6]
    • Altered mental status
    • Seizures
    • Focal neurological deficits
    • Loss of consciousness
    • Coma
