¹Department of Anaesthesia, Bradford Royal Infirmary.

|February 1, 1996

Abstract:

Pulsed saline lavage is used to prepare bony surfaces during joint replacement surgery. A patient is described in whom a venous air embolism occurred as a result of a combination of the increased vascularity of bone seen in Paget's disease and possible air entrainment in the lavage equipment.
