[Gas embolism caused by erroneous intraventricular administration of hydrogen peroxide solution].
An extremely rare case is described: massive gas (oxygen) embolism resultant from erroneous intraventricular administration of 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, which manifested by total systems hemodynamic and respiratory disorders. Hydrogen peroxide, which is still widely used in surgery, is a serious risk factor as regards gas embolism.
