Abstract

A right subclavian venous catheterization had been tried in a 56 years old female patient for a vascular access needed for hemodialysis but failed and a successful left one had been performed. Dyspnea and chest pain had been developed in the patient after the procedure and bilateral pneumothorax had been detected on the chest x-ray. The patient had been referred to our clinic. There was dyspnea, chest pain, tachycardia, tachypnea and mucosal cyanosis in the physical examination of the patient. Bilateral pneumothorax was confirmed on the chest x-ray performed in our clinic. Bilateral tube thoracostomies were performed and patient was followed up in the intensive care unit. A marked improvement was seen in the clinic of patient after the tube thoracostomies and both of the lungs were expanded on control chest x-ray. Left tube was removed 2 days after the intervention and the right one was removed 3 days after. Control chest x-ray performed 1 days later was normal and the patient was discharged. Although the pneumothorax is a complication that is possible with a certain percentage after the subclavian venous catheterizations and treated well with proper management, bilateral pneumothorax is a serious condition that may treaten the patient's life. Early intervention is very important in such cases.

Özet

Ellialtı yaşında bayan hastaya hemodializ tedavisi için gerekli damar yolunun sağlanması amacıyla sağ subklavian venöz kateterizasyon denenmiş, başarılı olunamayınca sol taraftan denenmiş ve başarılı olunmuş. Ancak işlem sonrası hastada nefes darlığı ve göğüs ağrısı gelişmiş ve çekilen akciğer grafisinde bilateral pnömotoraks tespit edilmiş. Bunun üzerine kliniğimize sevk edilen hastanın muayenesinde; nefes darlığı, göğüs ağrısı, taşikardi, takipne ve mukozalarda siyanozu vardı. Kliniğimizde çekilen akciğer grafisinde de bilateral pnömotoraks tespit edilmesi üzerine bilateral tüp torakostomi uygulanarak yoğun bakımda takip edildi. Tüp torakostomi sonrası hastanın kliniğinde belirgin bir düzelme oldu ve kontrol akciğer grafisinde her iki akciğer de ekspanse idi. Müdahaleden 2 gün sonra sol hemitorakstaki, 3 gün sonra da sağ hemitorakstaki dren alındı. Bir gün sonra çekilen kontrol akciğer grafisinin normal olması üzerine hasta taburcu edildi. Subklavian venöz kateterizasyon sonrası pnömotoraks belli bir oranda beklenen ve uygun müdahalelerle sorunsuz halledilebilen bir komplikasyon olmasına rağmen, pnömotoraksın bilateral olması durumunda hastanın hayatını tehdit edebilecek boyutlara ulaşabilir. Bu tip olgulara erken müdahale çok önemlidir.
