Abstract
The author reported 13 cases of gas embolism (GE) in the course of artificial pneumothorax (AP), of which 4 ended in death. Andrews reported 2 cases with 1 fatality. All these patients had pleural adhesions. In the 8 cases mentioned by Bruns, gas insufflation had not yet been started, but the symptoms of GE had already occurred; in 3 cases they began after the needle had been removed. Apparently, in these cases there was a communication between the pulmonary vein and the bronchus, which was sufficient for formation of GE.
