Dialysis catheter associated cardiac tamponade: quick diagnosis by extemporaneous echocardiography
2008
: We report a case of pericardial tamponade associated with over the wire exchange of a central venous catheter (CVC) for hemodialysis (HD). The complication was quickly diagnosed due to an extemporaneous echocardiogram with a linear probe, before other laboratory and radiologic tests could detect it. The described approach allowed a suitable therapy with a positive result.
