A 71 year old male patient was treated conservatively for subarachnoid haemorrhage with septic shock. The subclavian vein cannulation was done after starting mechanical ventilation and a pressure transducer was attached but the absence of typical waveforms led to doubt of correct placement of the catheter. An internal jugular vein (IJV) occlusion test showed flattened trace and central venous pressure (CVP) rise of 5 mmHg indicating misplacement of the catheter into the IJV, later confirmed by chest radiography. The central venous catheter (CVC) was withdrawn under image intensifier guidance and reinserted after applying pressure over the ipsilateral IJV. The position of the CVC was rechecked by connecting a pressure transducer. This time after IJV occlusion, the CVP trace was good and there was no change in waveforms and CVP reading.DOI: 10.3329/pulse.v3i1.6553Pulse Vol.3(1) July 2009 p31-32

Age changes the vascular structure and function in the normal population, but it has a different effect on wave reflection and pulse wave transmission Many longitudinal studies have found that arterial stiffness…
Angiomyolipoma is a tumour composed of varying admixtures of bloodvessels, smooth muscles and adipose tissue.Renal angiomyolipoma can be unilateral or bilateral. Bilateral angiomyolipoma has a very strong association…
Stiffening of arteries occurs when the pressure load is transferred from distensible elastic structures to less distensible components in the arterial wall. The causes are multifactorial and complex, involving both…
Physical activity (PA) is a key element in the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes but it is now well established that participation in regular PA improves blood glucose control and can prevent or delay the…
Ovarian cysts during pregnancy are not uncommon. With increasing use of early antenatal ultrasound, the incidental discovery of adnexal masses during early gestation is a clinically relevant problem that requires…
