Implication

Case report demonstrates non-perforated cardiac tamponade secondary to central venous catheterization in a premature infant, highlighting osmotic fluid injury as an underlying mechanism.

Key Points

To report a case of life-threatening cardiac tamponade and pericardial effusion occurring without physical perforation in an extremely low-birth-weight premature infant receiving central venous catheterization.
Clinical case evaluation of an extremely low-birth-weight premature newborn receiving intensive care and central venous catheterization.
Assessment of catheter-related complications, specifically non-perforated fluid accumulation surrounding the myocardium.
Cardiac tamponade developed following central venous line placement despite the absence of mechanical vascular or cardiac wall perforation.
The clinical findings indicate that the pericardial effusion arose via osmotic tissue injury induced by the infused central line fluids.
