| Summary: | A rightcephalic vein cannulation was performed in a patienJ scheduled/or elective craniectomy in order to keep a constant record ofthe intra-operative fluid volume. The flow ofthefluid through catheter was sluggish. The catheter was cautiously and gingerly withdrawn after an x...,.ay report con/innedknotting at the distal end. We believe that a chest radiograph is mandatory to rule out catheter knotting ifan impediment is anticipated in the flow. |
