Cardiac tamponade in a newborn because of umbilical venous catheterization: is correct position safe?

Abstract: Cardiac tamponade is a rare but life-threatening complication of umbilical venous catheterization in the newborn. Most complications from central venous catheters are related to incorrect position of the catheter and it is emphasized to confirm the position of the catheter tip after placement in order to avoid possible complications. We present an unusual complication of cardiac tamponade because of umbilical venous catheterization in a term newborn which is extremely rare with correct location of the catheter… Show more

“…Nessa localização, seja por movimentação do recém-nascido, ciclo cardíaco ou respiração, a extremidade do cateter faz contato com o endocárdio e, quanto mais perpendicular ela estiver junto à parede cardíaca, maior a chance de trauma direto e erosão, potencializada pela infusão de substâncias hiperosmolares que ocasionam lesão osmótica no endotélio, levando a perfuração atrial, tamponamento cardíaco e arritmias [31][32][33]. Os cateteres intracardíacos podem induzir mecanicamente estímulos elétricos atriais, podendo ser um gatilho para o início de um flutter atrial ou uma taquicardia supraventricular na presença de um feixe anômalo atrioventricular, sendo estas as arritmias mais frequentes nesse tipo de situação [34].…”
