Intraperitoneal femoral venous catheter insertion with free blood return in presence of tense hemoperitoneum

The authors report a case of intraperitoneal insertion of a femoral venous catheter, with blood return, in a patient with hemoperitoneum. In such patients, skin puncture at or below the inguinal ligament is important. Aspiration of unusually dark blood and medial catheter location should raise the p...
