LAX-PEREZ, R; FERRERO-MANZANAL, F; MARIN-PENA, O y MURCIA-ASENSIO, A. Gas embolism after the use of the CarboJet® lavage system during hip hemiarthroplasty: Clinical case and literature review. Acta ortop. mex [online]. 2014, vol.28, n.1, pp.45-48. ISSN 2306-4102.
Case report of an 89 year-old patient who had cardiorespiratory arrest during cemented hip hemiarthroplasty and required cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This complication occurred immediately after using the carbon dioxide-based lavage system known as CarboJet® and was attributed to gas embolism once other entities were ruled out. The possible factors that may contribute to this surgical complication are discussed.
