Extravasation of parenteral nutrition in the neck: A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extravasation refers to the process by which substances (including fluids or medications) escape into the extravascular space, either by leakage from a vessel into surrounding tissue or by direct infiltration [1-4]. This may occur through the administration of fluids via central venous catheters (CVC) or peripheral lines [3]. Extravasates are broadly divided into irritants or vesicants, based on their potential for local toxicity [2]. The extravasation of irritants can cause an inflammatory reaction accompanied by warmth, erythema, and tenderness in the extravasated area [4,5]. Vesicants, on the other hand, are agents which can potentially result in blistering, sloughing of the skin, and deep tissue damage because they are inherently toxic [4,5].

Acute abdomen due to late retroperitoneal extravasation from a femoral venous catheter in a newborn.
CONTEXT The use of parenteral nutrition via a central venous catheter is a common practice in the neonatal intensive care setting. Extravasation of the infusate leading to an acute abdomen is a complication that has only rarely been documented. This report describes the case of a premature infant with a femoral catheter placed in the inferior vena cava, who developed an acute abdomen as a resul...

Compartment syndrome is a rare but devastating condition that can result in permanent neuromuscular or soft tissue injuries. Extravasation injuries, among the iatrogenic causes of compartment syndrome, occur under a wide variety of circumstances in the inpatient setting. Total parenteral nutrition via a peripheral route is an effective alternative for the management of critically ill children w...

We report a rare, but serious, complication of a malpositioned umbilical venous catheter in a term male infant who developed laceration, hematoma, and necrosis of liver, ascites, and left-sided obstructive uropathy secondary to extravasation of total parenteral nutrition. Abdominal paracentesis confirmed the presence of parenteral nutrition in the peritoneal cavity. Although, the umbilical veno...

We report a case of a 72-year-old male with a history of scleroderma who presented to the emergency room with an asymptomatic pneumoperitonum after undergoing a CT thorax for evaluation of intersitial lung disease. Abdominal imaging was performed with oral contrast and did not reveal extravasation of the contrast into the peritoneum suggesting there was no perforated viscus. The patient was man...
متن کاملAspiration of parenteral nutrition – a previously unreported complication of central venous access in an infant: a case report
INTRODUCTION The insertion of percutaneous central venous catheters is a common procedure in neonatal intensive care nurseries. Placement of the catheter tip in a large central vein is most desirable. Occasionally, due to difficult venous access, catheter tips are left in places that are less than ideal. CASE PRESENTATION A female infant with a complicated gastroschisis developed signs of sho...
