[Cardiac arrest and hydrothorax as a complication of anaesthesia following subclavian catheter (author's transl)]. 1978

A Crnogorac, and K F Rothe, and R Schorer

The present case report describes a case of intrapleural infusion by means of a subclavian catheter. The clinical situation together with the signs of posteroinferior infarction in ECG led to a wrong diagnosis. During an emergency oepration the intrapleural infusion caused cardiac arrest which could be mastered by successful reanimation. After drainage of the intrapleural infusion the patient recovers without further complications. Prior to every infusion subclavicular catheters should be tested by blood aspiration.
