gas embolism
A gas embolism, also known as air or gas embolism, is a serious and potentially fatal medical condition that occurs when gas or air bubbles enter into the circulatory system. These bubbles can block blood vessels, impeding blood flow to essential organs and leading to serious complications such as heart attack, stroke, or organ damage. It can be caused due to a number of factors including diving accidents, surgical procedures, and intravenous injection of air.
