Abstract:
Intraoperative cardiac tamponade is an exceptionally rare but life-threatening complication during congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair in infants. In this case, pericardial effusion from inadvertent intravenous fluid extravasation led to cardiovascular collapse. Prompt recognition and pericardiocentesis were lifesaving, emphasizing vigilance when unexplained hemodynamic instability occurs during central or jugular venous access.
