Abstract EN
A 73-year-old male with history of hyperlipidemia and osteoarthritis was transferred from an outside hospital after a fall from a ladder at home.
He sustained a severe right sided acetabular fracture involving the femoral head, requiring operative repair.
Preoperative evaluation was unremarkable except for oxygen saturation < 95 %.
After induction of anesthesia and surgical positioning, the patient went into cardiac arrest.
After intraoperative cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and placement on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), the patient stabilized.
Cardiac catheterization revealed a large left pulmonary embolism.
Here, we discuss the etiology and management of intraoperative pulmonary embolism.
