CLINICAL CASE REPORT: EXTRAVASATION OF CONTRAST MEDIA INTO THE MEDIASTINUM THROUGH CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETER
Main Article Content
Abstract
Contrast-enhanced computed tomography in addition to the use of peripheral intravenous lines may require the use of a central venous line (catheter), especially in cases where peripheral access is difficult to achieve. Due to the patient's condition or emergency situations that need to be done quickly, central veins are the solution of choice. Extravasation contrast media using a peripheral intravenous line has been widely reported, but with mediastinal drainage, what are the side effects? Complications and clinical signs are rarely reported. We present a case of extravasation of contrast medium into the mediastinum through the central vein, the patient's clinical signs after extravasation and some treatment options performed immediately after contrast extravasation. The presented case shares experiences on how to evaluate the central venous line to meet standards before performing contrast injection and how to handle after drug leakage.
