Ultrasound guidance for central venous catheterization: A step further to prevent malposition of central venous catheter before radiographic confirmation
Devinder Midha, Vipal Chawla, Arun Kumar, Amit Kumar MandalIndian Journal of Critical Care Medicine 2017 21(7):463-465 Ultrasound (USG) guidance has long been used for guiding central venous catheterization. USG provides direct visualization of needle puncture through the skin into the vein. Most of the time USG guidance is just limited to puncturing of the vein and seeing guidewire entering the vein while malpositioning of catheter occurs after that which is seen later on while checking chest radiograph. Repositioning of catheter after that becomes not only difficult requiring repeated chest radiograph to reconfirm posit...

Uncommon presentation of an unusual foreign body
Jayalaxmi S Aihole, Pragalath KumarIndian Journal of Critical Care Medicine 2017 21(7):460-462 Esophageal foreign bodies (FBs) are common and can be the serious cause of morbidity and mortality in children. One-third of FBs, retained in the gastrointestinal tract, are found in the esophagus. Their management depends on the anatomical location, shape, size, and the duration of impaction. In children, unwitnessed esophageal FBs can present with respiratory symptoms such as stridor. Therefore, a high index of suspicion is generally required to avoid significant morbidity and mortality. We are reporting an unusual FB with unu...
