[Cardiac arrest caused by air embolism in the course of a partial liver resection--a rare anaesthesiological complication (author's transl)]. 1982

K W Fritz, and E Lüllwitz, and K Bodammer, and E Kirchner

Cardiac arrest occurred during resection of a metastasis of the liver. In spite of having a PEEP of 5 cm H2O during IPPV this could not be avoided. Beginning immediately with reanimation a "Restitutio ad integrum" was seen as demonstrated by EEG and ECG.
