I won't go into too many details, but I've gone through it my head about a hundred times. I was putting in temporary pacing wires via a femoral approach. Ultrasound guided for the puncture and the fluro for the rest. Cardiologist scrubbed with me. Seemed to go well. Patient ended to with a retroperitoneal haematoma the next day and almost coded. I feel like dog **** 😞. I've put in I dunno how many femoral lines and about 20 temporary pacing wires with no real complications until now.
Our director put his hand on my shoulders and said, "intensive care is a contact sport." He left it at that. ****.
