Reversible cardiac tamponade during prolonged parenteral feeding

Y M Bertrand et al. Intensive Care Med. 1983.

Abstract

Cardiac tamponade caused by a central catheter is a potentially lethal and infrequent complication. Prompt diagnosis is necessary to decrease the high mortality rate. Cardiac catheterization with a Swan-Ganz catheter and echocardiography can rapidly establish the diagnosis.
