During central venous catheterization, mechanical complications such as catheter thrombosis, infections, and pneumothorax can develop. In this report, we aimed to present a case of guidewire left unrecognized in venous system after central venous catheterization procedure. The guidewire has been extracted under fluoroscopy guidance. This case emphasizes maintaining and improving patient care and safety by doctor and the team.

CASE REPORT The 40-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency service for bleeding from the neck. In contrast to the first X-ray image, no foreign body was observed at the injury site or aspiration of fluid during emergency surgery. Following x-ray radiography, an opacity was observed in the left lower lobe of the lung, consistent with a foreign body. Echocardiography demonstrated no pathological manifestation in the atria, ventricles, or major pulmonary artery. There was no need to intervene because the patient was asymptomatic and had no noticeable symptoms of hemoptysis. The outpatient clinic's radiological and clinical control examinations were normal at the end of six months. CONCLUSION The movement of the foreign body to the lung within one or two hours may have resulted from our manipulation or may have...

Although the patient may have normal vital signs at the time of admission the rate of mortality rate has been reported up to 69%. We believe that conducting the initial evaluation and early intervention by a cardiac surgeon may have an impact on decreased mortality. Material and methods: This study has been conducted with 22 patients that have been admitted with cardiac trauma history. The subjects who were operated after applying to emergency service have been enrolled in this retrospective analysis. İndividuals died due to cardiac arrest at admission have been excluded from the study. The subjects with penetrating cardiac injury who have undergone sternotomy or thoracotomy has been included in the analysis. Results: At the time of admission 4 patients has been presented with shock and 2 patients had been administered resuscitation due to cardiac arrest. The gun shot wound cases were 27% (n=6) and of ...

In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of enoxaparin and tinzaparin on thrombosis development in 36 cancer patients. Of 36 the cases, 14 were given enoxaparin (single dose, 6000 anti-Xa/0.6 ml, s.c.), and 22 were given tinzaparin (single dose 20.000 IU/0.7 ml, s.c.). The improvement was observed following the treatment in Doppler ultrasonography and the resolution of VTE was clinically detectable. We did not observe any signs of a new thrombus development or bleeding in the patient group. We detected a longer survival time in patients with enoxaparin treatment (p<0.05). We conclude that low-molecular-weight heparins are an efficient treatment method for VTE in cancer patients.
