Misplacement of Central Venous Catheter Tip.-A case report-
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Monitoring of the cintral venous pressure is a simple, relatively inexpensive method of assessing a patient´s cardiac status, circulating blood volume, and vasomotor tone.
The simplest way of checking the intrathoracic location of the catheter tip is by observing oscillation of 2∼4㎝H₂O in the manometer column, synchronous with respiratory cycle.
Inaccurate measurements are often obtained by the misplacement of the central venous catheter tip, in addition to the other well-known complications.
Radiographic identification of the catheter tip is essential to eliminate these problems.
We experienced a case of arrhythmia which appeared upon misplacement of the central venous catheter tip, and confirmed its misplacement by radiographic study.
