متن کاملCardiac Tamponade Secondary to Umbilical Vein Catheterization in a Premature Newborn: A Case Report
Received May 19, 2001 Abstract We report a premature newborn who developed circulatory collapse 46 hours after birth due to cardiac tamponade. Echocardiography revealed large circumferential pericardial effusion. Pericardiocentesis yielded 12 ml of clear straw-colored fluid with high glucose level of 102.9 mmol/L. The neonate improved after the procedure. Pericardial tamponade is a rare complic...
