Cardiac Tamponade and Right Side Pleural Effusion in a Preterm Neonate
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Neonatal Medicine and Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Umbilical venous catheterization is a common procedure in NICU, especially for parenteral nutrition in preterm and as long term intravenous access for term babies. However these “life lines” are not without complications, they may even cause life threatening complications like pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade. We report a case of newborn with cardiac tamponade and right sided pleural effusion as a complication of umbilical venous catheterization.
