Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Delayed pneumothorax may occur after subclavian vein catheterization and results from slow accumulation of air in the pleural space. Thus initial postinsertion chest x-rays may not detect this complication. The addition of positive pressure ventilation for general anaesthesia may make this complication life threatening. We report three cases and the literature is surveyed.
