Cardiac Arrest During Hysteroscopic Myomectomy - A Combination of Venous Gas Embolism and Operative Hysteroscopy Intravascular Absorption Syndrome

Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1

Abstract

Venous gas embolism is a potentially fatal complication during operative hysteroscopy. Excessive fluid uptake during operative hysteroscopy with Glycine 1.5% can cause hyponatraemia, hypo-osmolality, hyperglycinaemia and volume overload. We present a rare case of venous gas embolism with Operative Hysteroscopy Intravascular Absorption syndrome (OHIA) during hysteroscopic myomectomy.
