Abstract

Hyskon^®, a distension medium composed of dextran 70 in 10% dextrose in water, is often used during hysteroscopic procedures. Coagulopathy and pulmonary edema are the most commonly reported side effects encountered during its use. We present the first case report in which a healthy patient developed pulmonary hemorrhage from Hyskon^® use. The major side effects of Hyskon^® are discussed, as are the possible etiologies of the reported complication and the implications for anesthesiologists.
