RESUMO

Debilitating subcutaneous emphysema, which can result in upper airway compromise, requires urgent intervention to avoid respiratory arrest. It can be treated using subcutaneous chest drain insertion to provide immediate relief of air pressure. https://bit.ly/3I2oV1k.

RESUMO

This is a rare case of development of bi-lateral chylous pleural effusion (containing parenteral nutrition material) along with pneumomediastinum due to punctured left subclavian vein following insertion of a peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) line. Parenteral nutrition is usually preferred for patients unable to tolerate enteral feeding. Due to hypertonicity of the total parenteral nutrition material, it is usually administered via internal jugular or subclavian vein which have a rapid blood flow; therefore, resulting in adequate mixing. Literature studies are yet to clearly explain the communications between two pleural cavities; therefore, development of bilateral pleural effusions in association with pneumomediastinum makes this case more intriguing. We present the journey of a 43-year-old woman who required insertion of bilateral chest drains, followed by sternotomy and repair of the left subclavian vein after she was found in hypoxic respiratory failure 2 days following insertion of PICC line into her left subclavian vein.

RESUMO

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2), a novel coronavirus, originated as an epidemic respiratory illness in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 eventually spread to almost all countries and has now been declared a global pandemic disease by the World Health Organisation. A plethora of research has explored the dynamics of different clinical entities related to SARS-COV-2, in particular, COVID-19 associated coagulopathy. A large scale of patients have been reported to have developed pulmonary embolism without any other standard triggers or risk factors, leading to speculation that COVID-19 is an independent risk factor for venous thromboembolism. In addition to the development of thromboembolic complications such as pulmonary embolism, COVID-19 has also been reported to have triggered disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC); however, it is unclear whether pulmonary embolism was due to COVID-19-induced thrombosis or a result of coagulopathy secondary to DIC. We describe a unique case of a COVID-19 associated coagulopathy in a patient with confirmed pulmonary embolism along with an overt DIC. Following diagnosis, the challenge was to identify the appropriate treatment modality for this unique situation. The patient was treated with anticoagulants and steroids along with blood products. The patient's condition markedly improved and was clinically stable on discharge.
