Tamponamento cardíaco: uma complicação rara da cateterização venosa central – relato de um caso clínico

Abstract

The extensive use of central venous catheters (CVC) in a hospital environment leads to increased iatrogenic complications, as more catheters are used enclosed and its maintenance is prolonged. Several complications are known to be related to central venous catheter, of which the uncommon cardiac tamponade (CT), hardly recognized and associated with high mortality. We present a clinical case, with favorable outcome, of a patient who developed a CT 17 days after CVC placement, and try to reflect on the measures that can be taken to reduce its incidence, as well as the therapeutic approaches to practice in the presence of a suspected CT.

Cardiac Tamponade in an Infant With PICC: A Case Report

“…2,18 Another theory suggests that due to pressure-induced necrosis, the central venous catheter enters the pericardial cavity through myocardial erosion or directly through the myocardial wall, causing fluid to flow directly into the pericardium, resulting in pericardial effusion and subsequent pericardial tamponade. 19,20 Although pericardial effusion and tamponade are life-threatening complications, they can be reversed if detected in time. Expedient recognition of PCE using echocardiographic ultrasound followed by an immediate pericardiocentesis may alleviate the PCE and avoid sudden death.…”

“…Popularização da difusão de novas técnicas de intervenção em vítimas de parada cardiorrespiratória compensatórios para suprir o colapso, concedem a vítima horas ou até dias de sobrevida dependendo da gravidade do TC (AZEVEDO et al 2018).…”

“…Os AVCs podem levar a quadros de demência, cegueira e outros distúrbios graves [2]. O tamponamento cardíaco é o aumento da pressão intracardíaca devido ao acúmulo de líquido ou gás na parede do pericárdio [10].…”
