Abstract EN
Central venous catheter (CVC) insertion rarely causes cardiac tamponade due to perforation.
Although it is a rare complication, it can be lethal if not identified early.
We report a case of cardiac tamponade caused by internal jugular (IJ) central venous catheter (CVC) insertion using a soft J-tipped guide wire which is considered safe and rarely implicated with cardiac tamponade.
A bedside transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) revealed a pericardial effusion with tamponade.
An emergent bedside pericardiocentesis was done revealing bloody fluid and resulted in clinical stabilization.
