If air embolism is suspected (e.g., if the patient becomes acutely hypoxic as the catheter is inserted into the peel-away sheath), the patient should be immediately placed in the left- lateral decubitus (left side down) position so the air bubble remains antidependent in the right heart. 100% oxygen should be administered.
