Abstract:
Central venous catheterization has been widely used in the management of critically ill patients and anesthetic management for the cases associated with severe hemodynamic changes. But this procedures may associate with life-threatening complications. In this case we experienced a hydrothorax following subclavian vein catheterization and we discussed the points that should be kept in mind to prevent the serious complications of central venous catheterization.
