Özet
Air embolism is a condition that often goes unnoticed, and although it is potentially life-threatening, it is rarely reported. The condition usually develops iatrogenically and resorbs spontaneously, although complications such as pulmonary edema and parenchymal destruction can develop. In our case, in lung tomography images taken 10 hours apart, the air seen in the pulmonary artery and right atrium disappeared, while areas of increasing consolidation were identified in the left lung. It is thought that air embolisms may be a cause of pneumonia etiologies in patients undergoing intravenous (IV) procedures, while other studies have referred to the condition, considered pneumonia, as an inflammatory process that develops due to the destruction following an air embolism. There is a need to investigate the frequency of complications and pneumonia in cases that develop air embolisms following IV procedures.
