Reason: evaluate right neck and right upper chest wall for retained line/object History: palpable object right neck. Corresponding to the superficial linear palpable structure in the right lateral neck, there is a corresponding tubular predominantly hypoechoic structure within the superficial subcutaneous soft tissues which measures approximately 2 mm in diameter and may reflect a retained catheter fragment.
Suspected retained catheter fragment within the superficial segment tissues of the right lateral neck. Soft tissue neck radiography recommended for confirmation (pager #1032 contacted, awaiting response; recommendation also entered into the follow-up tool).
