Abstract
Hysteroscopy is minimally invasive procedure performed widely for diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine and
endocervical pathologies.Venous air embolism,though rare complication,is catastrophic if encountered.We report one
such case of venous air embolism leading to non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema encountered by us during
hysteroscopic uterine septum resection done for infertility under general anaesthesia.Quick identification,preventing
further gas entry and timely intervention saved our patient.
