Risk factors associated with air embolism following computed tomography-guided percutaneous lung biopsy: a retrospective case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Retrospective analysis to identify the risk factors for air embolism following computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (TNB).

Methods

A retrospective analysis of patients who underwent CT-TNB at The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and Xuzhou Cancer Hospital from January 2017 to December 2021 was performed. A total of 21 factors relevant to air embolisms were collected. Risk factors associated with air embolisms were determined by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). The receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) was used to assess the ability of these factors to identify air embolisms.

Results

Of these 32,748 patients, 28 experienced air embolisms (19 at The First Affiliated Hospital of
