| Abstract |
We wish to thank Dr. Horton for his interest and clinical insights regarding our report of embolism in the superior ophthalmic vein after intravenous fluid injection using a peripheral intravenous cannula (1). As Dr Horton notes, passage from the subclavian to the internal jugular vein would present the most direct pathway for an air bubble ascending from the upper limb to the head. |
