CVC induced hydrothorax

Extract:

“Central vein catheter (CVC)placement is a common and useful procedure for critically ill patients. The hydrothorax is a delayed and rare (≈0.5%),1 but life-threatening complication. We reported here a patient with pleural effusion caused by the tip of the catheter hitting the side wall of the superior vena cava (SVC) because of changing the patient’s position repeatedly.”
