Cervical Compartment Syndrome – Complication of Central Venous Catheterization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Iatrogenic carotid artery injury may result from various medical procedures. We describe a nearly devastating complication such as the occurrence of cervical compartment syndrome following the attempt of a transjugular central venous catheterization. A vascular surgical approach was conducted to treat this rare clinical finding that has not been described in the literature until recently.

متن کاملMeasurement of Central Venous Pressure via the Femoral Route in Abdominal Compartment Syndrome
Introduction: Femoral vein catheterization provides an alternative route of access to central veins, is technically easy and relatively safe. There is good evidence of a general agreement between intrathoracic central venous pressure (CVP) and CVP measured in the iliofemoral veins or inferior vena cava in critically ill patients. This agreement is not well documented when intra-abdominal pressu...

Background Central venous catheter (CVC) is used for measuring hemodynamic variables, transfusion of blood, fluids and medications when peripheral vascular lack sufficiency. Unfortunately CVC is associated with many complications ranging from anxiety and discomfort for the patient to severe mechanical side effects such as arterial lacerations, pleural and pericardial injury as well as infection...
متن کاملEvidence Based Management of Spontaneous Internal Jugular Vein Thrombosis: A Literature Review
Internal Jugular Vein (IJV) thrombosis is a rare but potentially fatal condition. First described in 1912 as a complication of peritonsillar abscess [1] it is now known to have a varied aetiology. The leading cause of IJV thrombosis is the use of the IJV for venous access [2] and central venous catheterization. Other causes include oropharyngeal infection (Lemierre Syndrome), deep neck space in...
متن کاملMassive hemothorax immediately after removal of central venous catheter -A case report-
Hemothorax is a possible immediate complication of central venous catheterization. We experienced a patient who suffered from massive hemothorax 72 hours after right subclavian venous catheterization. A 29-year-old female patient with Marfan's syndrome underwent the Bentall's operation and aortic arch replacement with an artificial graft, which was performed uneventfully. She recovered favorabl...
