[Chest radiography for the detection of accidents during intensive care procedures (author's transl)].
One of the indications for chest radiography in intensive care units is the diagnosis for mishaps or sequelae arising, e.g., from failure to insert a central venous catheter, wrong position of the catheter, a too deeply inserted tracheal tube, a wrongly sited gastric catheter; also to find the causes of, e.g., lack of stimulation by a pacemaker or ineffective thorax drainage. Success in this type of diagnostic radiography presupposes a competent technique, radiopaque catheter material and a thorough acquaintance on the part of the radiologist with the procedures employed in intensive care.
