Iatrogenic injury is a difficult situation for a surgeon. Being successful in saving a patient at risk is the major concern in this situation. Once an iatrogenic injury to the superior vena cava (SVC) is found, increasing the intrathoracic pressure is theoretically able to overcome the venous pressure and to alleviate or even stop bleeding from injury. A 76-year-old female patient, who had suffered from end-stage diabetic nephropathy, developed tension hemothorax during insertion of the cuffed hemodialysis catheter. The successful course of resuscitation without emergent operation or endovascular repair is presented here. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
