Shoulder arthroscopy and fluid extravasation: a rare but potentially fatal complication
| Resumo: | An optimal view of the surgical field is required to ensure arthroscopic procedures, for which fluid irrigation is performed. However, excessive pressure or flow may cause fluid extravasation into the soft tissues, and although considered rare, this can be life-threatening due to potential airway edema. We describe a patient submitted to shoulder arthroscopy who developed complications related to fluid extravasation. |
