Tension Pneumothorax during Internal Jugular Catheterization
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
A case is presented of tension pneumothorax during internal jugular catheterization. Pneumothorax is one of complications of internal jugular catheterization but is very rare. If it occurs after anesthetic induction, discontinuence of N2O is very
important in order not to increase the size of pneumothorax. And if general safety measures are observed such as use of fine locator needle, confinement of needle depth and cannulation in end-expiratory phase, the occurrence rate of pneumothorax
during
the procedure could be much lessened.
