Abstract

Central venous catheterization has been widely used in the anesthetic management. Unfortunately, the use of central venous catheter may be associated with adverse events that are hazardous to patients. We experienced a lethal hemomediastinum following subclavian venous catheterization and we discussed the facts that should be kept in mind to prevent the serious complications.

Key Words: complication, hemomediastinum, subclavian catheterization
