Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We report the case of a seven-year-old girl with recently diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) who suffered acute airway obstruction during insertion of a central venous catheter under general anaesthesia. The central airway obstruction was due to a mixture of leukaemic cells, blood clot and fibrin. There is discussion about airway obstruction both as a complication of central line insertion and secondary to ALL. The pulmonary complications of ALL, with particular reference to pulmonary haemorrhage, are detailed. The management of blood clot obstructing the central airway is discussed. |
