En España es bastante frecuente denominar este fenómeno como sobre expansión pulmonar [...], o como embolia traumática de aire [...]. Ambas denominaciones son erróneas pues hacen referencia tan solo a uno de los elementos del síndrome: en el primer caso al mecanismo fisiopatológico causal, que no siempre acarrea fenómenos patológicos, y en el segundo a una de sus consecuencias, que no siempre se acompaña de los demás elementos. 1, record 2, Spanish, - s%C3%ADndrome%20de%20sobrepresi%C3%B3n%20pulmonar
