Anatomic considerations for central venous cannulation
Central venous cannulation is a commonly performed procedure which facilitates resuscitation, nutritional support, and long-term vascular access. Mechanical complications most often occur during insertion and are intimately related to the anatomic relationship of the central veins. Working knowledge of surface and deep anatomy minimizes complications. Use of surface anatomic landmarks to orient...
متن کاملBilateral Pneumothoraces Following Central Venous Cannulation
We report the occurrence of a bilateral pneumothoraces after unilateral central venous catheterization of the right subclavian vein in a 70-year-old patient. The patient had no history of pulmonary or pleural disease and no history of cardiothoracic surgery. Two days earlier, she had a median laparotomy under general and epidural anaesthesia. Prior to the procedure, the patient was hemodynamica...
متن کاملBilateral pleural effusions following central venous cannulation.
We describe a patient who developed bilateral pleural effusions as a delayed complication following central venous catheter insertion. Respiratory distress should not only raise the clinical suspicion of a pneumothorax but also of erosion and perforation of the central vein. The mechanism, diagnosis, management and prevention of this complication are discussed.

mean total dose of 0.5 per cent bupivacaine injected epiduraUy was 8.1 +0.26 ml (range 5-10 ml). The subarachnoid block usually extended from $5 to T7 dermatomes. The usual upper level of the CSE block after injection of local anaesthetic via the epidural catheter was T4. In six patients (25 per cent) the subarachnoid block reached the T4-5 level and further extension of block by epidural injec...
متن کاملVeno-venous two-site cannulation versus veno-venous double lumen ECMO: complications and survival in infants with respiratory failure
Objective. To compare complications and survival between the two-site veno-venous versus the veno-venous double lumen extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in infants with respiratory failure. Methods. The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO, Ann Arbor, Michigan) provided the registry database, collected between 1999-2009 for this research project. During this period, 9086 infan...
