ABSTRACT
The venous air embolism constitutes an episode of uncommon identification in Obstetrics,
but it establishes the necessity of a diagnosis for its catastrophic manifestation in some
cases. The emergence of this entity is related to multiple invasive procedures and to
surgical interventions, especially in the caesarean section due to the predisposing
elements, which indicates the necessity of a systematic control during this operation.
The aim of this work was to offer an updating on the topic, as an informative tool which
facilitates the performance of the medical staff linked to the obstetric care. To such
effects, aspects related to the prevention of the clinical entity, the diagnostic means for
their identification and the therapeutic limits are approached, as part of the actions to
reduce the morbidity and maternal mortality, and to achieve a safe maternity.
