U.S., April 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07555990) titled 'Study on the Incidence and Risk Factors of Systemic Arterial Gas Embolism in Bronchoscopy Procedures' on April 02.
Brief Summary: Systemic Arterial Gas Embolism (SAGE) is a rare but fatal complication characterized by the accidental entry of gas into the left heart system, which then travels through the systemic arterial circulation, leading to embolisms in critical organs such as the brain and heart.
