Inserting a thoracic drain is an invasive procedure which can cause several complications. We describe a new complication unreported to date: perforation-intubation of the subclavian vein. This case confirms the need to carefully choose the drainage point before insertion. Deformation of the thorax, especially in obese patients may require incision and digital palpation of the pleural space before insertion of the drain.
插入胸腔引流管是一种侵入性操作，可能会引发多种并发症。我们描述了一种迄今为止尚未报道的新并发症：锁骨下静脉穿孔插管。该病例证实了在插入引流管前仔细选择引流点的必要性。胸部变形，尤其是肥胖患者，可能需要在插入引流管前切开并通过手指触诊胸膜腔。
