  • Title: Hydropneumomediastinum and bilateral hydropneumothorax as delayed complications of central venous catheterization.
    Author: Flatley ME, Schapira RM.
    Journal: Chest; 1993 Jun; 103(6):1914-6. PubMed ID: 8404134.
    Abstract:
    A case of hydropneumomediastinum and bilateral hydropneumothorax from a central venous catheter is described. The complication is related to the position of the catheter after placement through the left internal jugular vein. Proper placement of a central venous line into the superior vena cava is essential to avoid this serious complication.
