RESUMO
Central catheterization has been widely employed because of its various uses. However, there are many complications which are classified as mechanical complications, infectious complications, and thrombotic complications. Especially, subclavian catheterization has a high rate of mechanical complication such as pneumothrax and hemothorax. We experienced an unusual complication of central catheter misplacement in thoracic surgery and identified it with video assisted thoracoscopic equipment. We consider hemothorax to be the cause of this type of central catheter misplacement.

Endoscopic thyroidectomy is gaining popularity, but it can increase the risk of certain complications. Carbon dioxide insufflation in the neck may cause adverse effects on hemodynamic and ventilatory aspects. We report the anesthetic course and complications that were encountered during endoscopic thyroidectomy. Although the surgery was successful, the patient developed signs of hypercarbia, subcutaneous emphysema and pneumothorax.
