Özet
Pericardial effusion is a rare but life threatening complication of umbilical venous cat heterization in the newborn. Pericardial effusion is rarely seen as a complication of central veno us catheterization. Use of central venous catheterization in neonatal intensive care units more commonly has caused increased incidence of pericardial effusion related to total parenteral nutri tion. A 7 day old male infant born prematurely was admitted to our clinic with the diagnosis of pericardial effusion. By guiding echocardiography, 40 ml milk coloured total parenteral nutrition fluid was evacuated through subxiphoidal pericardiosynthesis. Following pericardiosynthesis, car diorespiratory status improved significantly. Biochemical analysis aided in the diagnosis of cathe ter related etiology with possibility of parenteral nutrition fluid diffusion into the pericardial space. In a neonate with umbilical venous catheterization whose general status worsens and in whom car diorespiratory signs develop pericardial effusion should be considered.
