A 790 g infant developed cardiac tamponade 17 h after starting parenteral nutrition through a fine silastic catheter, the tip of which was accidentally positioned against the wall of the right atrium. Cold light examination suggested the diagnosis and pericardial aspiration of clear fluid with a high glucose content restored the circulation.
