Precordial Doppler Probe Placement for Optimal Detection of Venous Air Embolism During Craniotomy

Verification of appropriate precordial Doppler probe position over the anterior chest wall is crucial for early detection of venous air embolism. We studied responses to normal saline (NS) and carbon dioxide (CO2) test injections at various probe locations during elective craniotomy. All patients re...
