Patients with liver disease undergoing anaesthesia pose significant challenges and advanced planning and preparation are required in order to improve perioperative outcomes in this group. VIDEO ABSTRACT: http://links.lww.com/COAN/A43.
Central venous catheter insertion is a commonly performed procedure in anaesthesia and critical care in order to assist fluid management and to allow administration of intravenous medications. Central venous catheter misplacement can occur, even in expert hands, despite the widespread use of ultrasound guidance. In this case report, we describe central venous catheter misplacement into the left internal mammary vein and subsequent patient management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
