  • Title: Cardiac tamponade and bilateral pleural effusion in a very low birth weight infant.
    Author: Haass C, Sorrentino E, Tempera A, Consigli C, De Paola D, Calcagni G, Piastra M, Finocchi M.
    Journal: J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med; 2009 Feb; 22(2):137-9. PubMed ID: 19253161.
    Abstract:
    A very low birth weight premature newborn developed a sudden cardiac tamponade due to parenteral fluid extravasation 1 month after central line insertion. Besides tensive pericardial effusion a bilateral pleural effusion also developed. An emergency pericardiocentesis was really life-saving and after pleural fluid removal a complete cardiorespiratory recovery was obtained. Pericardial and bilateral pleural effusions very rarely coexist as a complication of central line extravasation.
