AI Article Synopsis
- A 56-year-old man with acute myeloid leukemia developed a severe cervical hematoma after having a catheter inserted into his right internal jugular vein.
- Despite getting platelet transfusions before the procedure, his hematoma grew, causing him respiratory issues.
- Investigations showed no arterial injury, but severe coagulation problems were found, leading to a cerebral hemorrhage and ultimately his death despite aggressive treatment.
Article Abstract
We report the case of a 56-year-old male diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia who developed a severe cervical hematoma following an ultrasound-guided right internal jugular vein catheterization. Despite receiving platelet transfusions prior to the procedure, the patient experienced progressive hematoma enlargement, leading to respiratory distress. Further investigations, including carotid Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA), ruled out arterial injury, but thromboelastography revealed severe coagulation dysfunction. The patient subsequently developed cerebral hemorrhage and died despite intensive care interventions.

Orthod Craniofac Res
January 2025
Sleep Unit, Department of Stomatology, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain.
Objectives: This non-randomised clinical study aimed to identify the phenotypic characteristics that distinguish responders from non-responders. Additionally, it sought to establish a predictive model for treatment response to obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) using mandibular advancement devices (MAD), based on the analysed phenotypic characteristics.
Material And Methods: This study, registered under identifier NCT05596825, prospectively analysed MAD treatment over 6 years using two-piece adjustable appliances according to a standardised protocol.
