An unusual complication of pigtail catheter insertion
Introduction Pigtail catheters have emerged as an effective and less morbid alternative to traditional large bore chest tubes for evacuation of pleural air or
Bleeding, infection, chest pain, and re-expansion pulmonary edema are the most common complications of pigtail catheter drainage similar to large bore chest tube drainage (1). Pigtail catheters have emerged as an effective and less morbid alternative to tradit...

Introduction Pigtail catheters have emerged as an effective and less morbid alternative to traditional large bore chest tubes for evacuation of pleural air or
Several pigtail failures occurred on F901 Steam Reformer inlet and outlet header from 2007 to 2009 at Agrium''s Ammonia plant in Redwater, Alberta, Canada.
Pigtails are used to transfer syn-gas from reformer tubes to manifolds and experience high stresses from temperature and pressure. Common failure
Using a structured root cause analysis (RCA), we examined two cases of retained pigtail catheter obturators resulting in catheter malfunction and unresolved pneumothorax.
Understand the importance of pigtails electrical connection in electronics. Follow our step-by-step guide to ensure efficient and safe connections.
Upon arrival, he was found to have a pigtail catheter exiting the left lower anterior chest wall (Figure 2, Figure 3), which yielded pulsatile blood flow when the catheter was uncapped.
Learn what an electrical pigtail is and why this short jumper wire is essential for safe, code-compliant connections in home wiring projects.
Abstract management Pigtail catheters of pleural effusions emerged as pneumothorax. an effective and Pneumothorax less morbid alternative and catheter intervention associated with pigtail catheters.
Cracked samples of inlet pigtail taken from a reformer in a petrochemical plant were investigated to allocate the failure mechanism. A detailed investigation showed that the cracking was

Understanding how to effectively repair automotive electrical connectors can greatly enhance functionality and safety in vehicles. For visual
The obtained findings demonstrated that the failure of outlet pigtails was attributed to over-design operating temperatures. Under operation at high temperature, the pigtails undergo the
We report a case of a 92-year-old male who presented with dyspnea and shock, noted to have a pneumothorax requiring tube thoracostomy. Computed tomography demonstrated pigtail within the
Danekas et al. reported a potentially lethal complication of inadvertent placement of the pigtail catheter in the left ventricle in a 3-year-old patient resulting in pulsatile
Objective: Cerebral air embolism (CAE) is an extremely rare but serious complication of pigtail catheter drainage. The aim of the case report is to review our experience in the diagnosis and
Pigtail catheters offer reliable treatment of pneumothoraces, and are a safe and less invasive alternative to tube thoracostomy.1 Rare complications in the literature such as intraparenchymal insertion, left
A structured review of complications of pigtail catheter insertion revealed opportunities for improved patient safety. We highlight a preventable error in insertion of a percutaneous catheter and
Pigtail catheters and chest tubes are commonly used for effective resolution of pneumothoraces and drainage of simple pleural effusions. Given their s
Abstract emerged as pneumothorax. an effective and Pneumothorax less morbid alternative and catheter intervention associated with pigtail catheters. Here, we describe two rare cases of pigtail
Using a structured root cause analysis (RCA), we examined two cases of retained pigtail catheter obturators resulting in catheter malfunction and unresolved pneumothorax.
Why Pigtails Fail Pigtails frequently fail because their location demands they absorb the brunt of environmental and operational stressors. Corrosion is a primary culprit, particularly where
