Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To compare the use of economic and human resources to solve the composite early complications episodes when NTC the tip is placed in the second intercostal space vs the fourth intercostal space.<br><br>The episodes of dysfunction, episodes of repositioning and episodes of relocation of the NTC will be assessed as a composite primary outcome.<br><br>Dysfunction is defined as the impossibility of the NTC to provide adequate blood flow (>250 mL/min), assessed by review of medical records.<br><br>Repositioning is defined as the need to accommodate the catheter because the tip of the NTC, assessed by anteroposterior radiography, is below the atrio-cava junction.<br><br>Relocation is defined as the need to remove and place a new NTC, because the tip of the NTC was lodged 1 cm above the bronchial carina, assessed with an anteroposterior radiography.[48 hours post-catheter placement.]
