Massive hemothorax and Groshong catheters.

C Gonzales, T U Westblom

    The West Virginia Medical Journal
    |September 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Central venous catheter placement can lead to rare but severe complications. This case highlights a delayed, life-threatening hemothorax 19 days after internal jugular vein catheterization.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Critical Care Medicine
    • Interventional Radiology

    Background:

    • Central venous access is a frequent hospital procedure.
    • Subclavian and internal jugular vein cannulation are common techniques.
    • While generally safe, serious complications can arise.

    Observation:

    • A patient developed a massive hemothorax.
    • This complication occurred 19 days post-procedure.
    • The event followed the placement of a Groshong catheter via the internal jugular vein.

    Findings:

    • Delayed hemothorax is a potential, albeit rare, complication of central venous catheterization.
    • The case underscores the importance of monitoring for delayed complications.
    • The specific mechanism of delayed hemothorax requires further investigation.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should maintain vigilance for late-onset complications after central venous access.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial for favorable outcomes.
    • This case may inform procedural guidelines and patient monitoring protocols.
