In this case, we report a rare manufacturing defect in a multi-lumen central venous catheter, where communication between lumens was discovered during a pre-use flush check. This defect raises significant safety concerns, including potential medication interference and inaccurate CVP readings. Vigilant pre-use testing and heightened awareness of such anomalies are crucial to preventing life-threatening complications.
在本病例中,我们报告了一例多腔中心静脉导管罕见的制造缺陷,该缺陷是在使用前冲洗检查时发现腔与腔之间存在连通。这种缺陷引发了重大安全问题,包括潜在的药物相互干扰和中心静脉压读数不准确。使用前进行严格测试并提高对此类异常情况的认识对于预防危及生命的并发症至关重要。
