title: [Pulmonary gas embolism in laparoscopy--a rare complication].
abstract: Report on one case of pulmonary gas embolism during gynaecological laparoscopy using nitrous oxide (N2O) as filling gas. There was only a slight symptomatology. An acute pulmonary infarction could be demonstrated by X-ray examination. A critical assessment of hemodynamic depression during laparoscopy is a demand. In this connection the advantage of carbon dioxide opposite to nitrous oxide should be emphasized.
