“…A chylothorax due thoracic duct injury may follow a subclavian vein or jugular vein catheterization is uncommon complication and reported in 1–4.2% [34]. This complication is rarely recognised immediately, but leakage of lymphatic fluid at the puncture site may become apparent over time, making dressing care difficult, or a CXR may reveal nonspecific pleural effusion.…”

Imaging Review of Procedural and Periprocedural Complications of Central Venous Lines, Percutaneous Intrathoracic Drains, and Nasogastric Tubes

Placements of central venous lines (CVC), percutaneous intrathoracic drains (ITDs), and nasogastric tubes (NGTs) are some of the most common interventional procedures performed on patients that are unconscious and in almost all intensive care/high dependency patients in one form or the other. These are standard procedures within the remit of physicians, and other trained health professionals. Procedural complications may occur in 7%–15% of patients depending upon the intervention and experience of the operator. Most complications are minor, but other serious complications may add significantly to morbidity and even mortality of already compromised patients. Imaging findings are the key to the detection of misplaced lines, and tubes and their prompt recognition are vital to avoid harm to the patient. It is, therefore, pertinent that healthcare professionals who perform these procedures are familiar with imaging complications of these procedures. Here, we present the imaging characteristics of procedural complications.

“…The true prevalence of cecal diverticulosis is difficult to ascertain, however, the reported frequency is about 1 in 300 appendectomies (1). Although generally asymptomatic, they are likely to become symptomatic in the presence of complications like inflammation, perforation and bleedings.…”

“…Although generally asymptomatic, they are likely to become symptomatic in the presence of complications like inflammation, perforation and bleedings. Making definitive diagnosis is challenging due to symptoms resembling those of acute appendicitis (1,2). Imaging modalities like ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) can be implemented in diagnosis.…”

Central venous catheterization—An anatomical review of a clinical skill—Part 1: Subclavian vein via the infraclavicular approach

et al. 2007

The safe and successful performance of a central venous catheterization (CVC) requires a specific knowledge of anatomy in addition to a working knowledge. Misunderstanding the anatomy may result in failure or complications. This review aims to aid understanding of the anatomical framework, pitfalls, and complications of CVC of the subclavian (SCV). CVC is common practice amongst surgeons, anesthesiologists, and emergency room physicians during the preparations for major surgical procedures such as open-heart surgery, as well as, for intensive care monitoring and rapid restoration of blood volume. Associated with this technique are certain anatomical pitfalls and complications that can be successfully avoided if one possesses a thorough knowledge of the contraindications, regional anatomy, and rationale of the technique.
