| superbdoc Total Posts: 273 | Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2008 12:57 am Sudden occurrence of unexplained cardiopulmonary dysfunction with neurological findings during or soon after a surgical procedure should suggest possibility of venous air embolism leading to paradoxical emboli. A "millwheel murmur"- churning murmur over L sternal border indicates a massive air embolism. When a millwheel murmur is heard, cardiovascular collapse is imminent.  |
