| Core Tip |
Central venous catheters (CVCs) often cause life-threatening complications, especially CVC-related bloodstream infection and catheter-related thrombosis. Emphysematous thrombophlebitis is a rare but life-threatening CVC-related bloodstream infection associated with thrombosis and gas formation in the vein. However, timely diagnosis remains a challenge for clinicians. Here, we report an unusual case of misplaced CVC-induced emphysematous thrombophlebitis rapidly diagnosed by point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). POCUS revealed thrombosis surrounding the misplaced CVC in the right internal jugular vein and gas bubbles manifesting as hyperechoic lines with dirty shadowing and comet-tail artifacts. Knowledge of air-related artifacts may help physicians rapidly diagnose emphysematous thrombophlebitis. |
