Abstract

Air embolism is an uncommon but potentially catastrophic event, which occurs as a consequence of the entry of air into the vasculature. Surgery, instrumentation of the central venous system, positive pressure ventilation, trauma and decompression are the most common causes of air embolism. Decompression sickness is an illness caused by reduced pressure on the body that results in formation of bubbles of an inert gas and specific related symptoms. Decompression sickness is still a risk for both aviators and divers (1). Here we report a cardiac decompression sickness case due to air embolism.
