Hydrothorax due to extravasation of intravenous contrast through left subclavian catheter -A case report-
نویسندگان
چکیده
Central venous catheterization is associated with a large number of complications, such as pneumothorax, hydrothorax, hemothorax, phlebothrombosis, pericardial tamponade, air embolism, aberrant placement and line sepsis. There are many case reports of the extravasation of various central venous catheter fluids, including the intravenous fluids, total parenteral nutrition and chemotherapeutic agents into the pleural cavity and mediastinum. These have led to hydrothorax, hydromediastinum and pericardial effusions. We report a case of the extravasation of intravenous contrast into the pleural cavity after dynamic CT through a left subclavian catheter.

Delayed pneumothorax and contralateral hydrothorax induced by a left subclavian central venous catheter: a case report
The placement of central venous catheters (CVCs) has become a ubiquitous practice in intensive care units (ICUs). The use of CVCs is often a necessity for the measurement of hemodynamic variables and the administration of fluids, medications, blood products, and parenteral nutrition in critically ill patients; however, catheterization may occasionally be associated with complications, such as p...

Central venous catheterization is typically used for the anesthetic management of patients undergoing a major surgery or care of patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The occurrence of complications associated with central venous catheterization such as pneumothorax or vascular injury have decreased, while delayed complications such as hydrothorax, hydromediastinum, or cardiac tamponade have r...
متن کاملMassive hydrothorax following subclavian vein catheterization
Since the introduction of central venous catheterization for monitoring of the venous pressure, fluid infusion and hyperalimentation, the literature has been full of serious life-threatening complications. Of these complications is the false positioning of the central venous catheter and subsequent development of pleural effusion. In this report we are describing a case of iatrogenic massive pl...

Central venous catheters (CVCs) are frequently used in intensive care patients. However, their use is associated with mechanical and infectious complications. Most mechanical complications arise during insertion, rarely while the catheter is in situ or upon its removal.1 The most frequent mechanical complications, arising mostly at the time of venopuncture or shortly after, are arterial malpunc...
