Abstract

During peripheral venous cannulation, accidental arterial cannulation can occur. Unintentional intra-arterial injections of drugs through arterial cannula may cause tissue necrosis, moreover initiate a clinical process which leads to limb amputation. Therefore, all healthcare professionals who perform peripheral venous cannulation and intravenous drug administration, should be aware of the symptoms and treatment of accidental intra-arterial drug injection. In this case report, we present an unintentional brachial artery cannulation, and subsequent 0.5 mg/kg arterial atracurium injection, thus developing circulatory disorder in a patient who was treated promptly.

Özet

Periferik venlerin kanülasyonu sırasında istemeyerek periferik arteriyel kanülasyon yapılabilmektedir. Buna fark etmeden yapılan intra-arteriyel ilaç enjeksiyonları eklendiğinde; doku nekrozundan, ilgili ekstremitenin amputasyonuna kadar gidebilen bir klinik süreci başlatabilmektedir. İntravenöz ilaç uygulaması yapan tüm sağlık çalışanlarının yanlış intra-arteriyel ilaç enjeksiyonunun semptomlarını ve tedavisini bilmeleri gerektiğini düşünüyoruz. Bu olgu sunumunda, iki aylık pediatrik olguya istemeyerek brakial arter kanülasyonu uygulanmasını, bu kanülden atrakuryumun enjekte edilmesi, takiben sol ön kolda dolaşım bozukluğu gelişmesini ve hızlı bir şekilde uyguladığımız başarılı tedavi yönetimimizi sunmak istedik.
