Q

84
Q

When is Venous Air Embolism most likely to occur during pregnancy?

A

After placental separation, there is the potential for air trapping. Common during C-Sec- immediately after placenta separates from the endometrial surface and is exposed, air can enter the bloodstream.

85
Q

What is the clinical presentation for Venous Air Embolism?

A

Small amount- usually no symptoms
Massive amount- Hypotension, Hypoxemia, Potential Cardiac Arrest.
>200-300 ml or 3-5ml/kg is deadly

86
Q

Describe the pathophysiology of VAE.

A

Small amount of air in bloodstream—> Pulmonary vasospasm–>V/Q mismatch, hypoxemia, R sided HF, arrhythmias, and hypotension.
Air Volume >3ml/kg can cause RV outflow tract obstruction–> CV collapse.
Air into arterial circulation—>CV and neurological events.

87
Q

Worry about VAE if Pt complains of:

A

Chest pain
Dyspnea
Sudden Hypotension
Arrhythmias

88
Q

Resuscitation protocol of OB Pt with massive VAE

A

Prevent further air entrainment- flood surgical field with saline, lower the surgical field relative to the heart.

Administer 100% O2, d/c N2O, intubate and ventilate

Support circulation with chest compressions, IV volume expansion, and vasopressors

Expedite delivery

Evaluate for intracerebral air and consider hyperbaric O2 therapy
