  • Title: Diagnostic aspiration of an iatrogenic hydrothorax following subclavian catheterization.
    Author: Steiger MJ, Morgan AG.
    Journal: Postgrad Med J; 1990 Aug; 66(778):672-3. PubMed ID: 2217040.
    Abstract:
    Central venous catheterization is not without hazard. Inadvertent placement in the pleural space can occur without the development of a pneumothorax and pressure measurements may appear misleadingly normal. This case report illustrates an effective method of diagnosing and draining an iatrogenic hydrothorax which resulted in this way.
