Fatty Emboli Syndrome
by tmboase, May 22, 2004 12:00AM
Is fatty emboli syndrome preventable? My husband broke his tibia and fibula on a Saturday evening playing soccer. The doctor said he would do surgery the next morning and kept him overnight. Early Sunday morning he had a stroke caused by fatty emboli syndrome. Would that have been preventable had surgery been done the night it happened?
