Bilateral hydrothorax and cardiac tamponade after right subclavian vein catheterization -A case report-
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 risen recently. We report a case of complications of bilateral hydrothorax with cardiac tamponade by superior vena cava perforation due to continuous mechanical force of the looped central venous catheter tip against SVC wall after subclavian vein cannulation.

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 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 ag...

Central venous catheters provide long-term available vascular access. They are useful for central venous pressure monitoring, rapid fluid management, massive transfusion and direct cardiovascular medication, especially in operation. Central venous catheterization is usually performed by the landmark bedside technique without imaging guidance. The complications of central venous catheterization ...
متن کاملLeft atrial tamponade. Report of a case after right heart catheterization.
Left atrial tamponade after right heart catheterization is described. It was associated with a low cardiac output but without signs ofgeneralized cardiac tamponade. Failure to remove the cause of obstruction resulted in irreversible cerebral damage. Left atrial tamponade after heart operations has been described by Yacoub, Cleland, and Deal (I966). They reported 2 patients whose condition deter...
متن کاملRight hydrothorax misconceived as atelectasis after left internal jugular vein catheterization -A case report-
Central vein catheterization is a common procedure for monitoring the central venous pressure, securing vascular access, administrating vasoactive drugs and removing air embolisms. However, many complications can occur, such as vessel injury, pneumothorax, hydrothorax, nerve injury, arrhythmia and infection at the insertion site. We encountered an unusual complication of a localized right hydro...
