Highlights the importance of prompt echocardiography and pericardiocentesis in managing life-threatening cardiac tamponade complicating umbilical venous catheterization in neonates.
Chioukh et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Pericardial effusion with cardiac tamponade (n=1). Urgent subxiphoid pericardiocentesis was evaluated on Resolution of pericardial effusion and survival. Urgent subxiphoid pericardiocentesis successfully treated a life-threatening pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade caused by an umbilical venous catheter in a very low birth weight preterm infant.
