TEE monitoring for RA-horizontal paradoxical arterial air embolism during sitting-position surgery

摘要

A 36-year-old woman suffered meningioma in her right cerebellopontine angle.Air embolisms often complicate sitting-position surgeries.Because TEE guides the localization of central venous catheters and promptly locates air embolisms promptly enough for effective treatment,TEE is an effective monitoring method for sitting-position surgeries.
