Abstract
Venous air embolism (VAE) is a recognized complication in neurosurgery. Air entry occurs when there is subatmospheric pressure in open non-collapsible venous channels. Schimitt et al. showed that VAE, as detected by transoesophageal echocardiography, occurred in 44% of adult patients with position change at the end of neurosurgery1. The authors concluded that VAE after skin closure might be the reason for hemodynamic deterioration immediately after neurosurgery.
