Pulmonary artery catheter-induced hemorrhage.
Pulmonary artery rupture by a flow-directed balloon-tipped catheter is a rare complication if guidelines for insertion of catheters are strictly applied. It should be stressed that the need for a "confirmed" wedge pressure should be weighed against the very real risk of this potentially fatal complication. Users of this catheter should expect and anticipate distal migration of the catheter tip....
متن کاملThe pulmonary artery catheter.
Clinical Medicine Vol 2 No 2 March/April 2002 101 The flow-directed pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) has been in clinical use since its introduction by Swan and colleagues in 19701. During that time it has become widely used in critical care units throughout the world and is now the most commonly utilised form of flow monitoring. The haemodynamic data obtained with a PAC are used to monitor and ...
متن کاملCatheter-induced pulmonary artery rupture: haemodynamic compromise necessitates surgical repair.
Pulmonary artery haemorrhage is thankfully a very rare complication following pulmonary artery catheter insertion. It carries a significant mortality of 50%, and most cases are managed conservatively or with embolization therapy. We present an occult case, in which a patient presented with haemodynamic compromise without haemoptysis or significant haemothorax, who required surgical intervention...
متن کاملPulmonary artery catheter-induced perforation treated with coil embolization.
The past 40 years have taught us much about the use of pulmonary artery catheters and their complications. Pulmonary artery rupture carries high morbidity and mortality, and therefore a high index of suspicion and timely management are key to the survival of patients who suffer from this rare complication. While surgical therapy has been considered the mainstay of treatment, endovascular therap...
متن کاملCatheter-induced pulmonary artery haemorrhage resulting from a pneumothorax.
We present a case of pulmonary artery perforation in a patient who developed a pneumothorax after cardiac surgery. In the process of inserting a chest tube the patient became tachypnoeic, and developed haemoptysis. The trachea was intubated, and right bronchial intubation was performed with persistent bleeding. The pulmonary artery catheter was gently withdrawn and the balloon inflated, with ce...
