Tamponade persisted despite aspiration of fresh blood from his pericardial drain. Soon after, the patient arrested and required cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergent transfer to cardiothoracic theatre. Review of his CT scan showed the tacks used to secure his fundoplication mesh in close approximation...
Cardiac tamponade is a medical emergency. The prognosis depends on prompt recognition and management of the condition and the underlying cause of the tamponade. Untreated, cardiac tamponade is rapidly and universally fatal. Haneya et al retrospectively (2005-2011) evaluated the impact of timing and i...
An abdominal CT scan excluded any surgical diagnoses but rather showed a pericardial effusion. When the cardiology team urgently reviewed her, they found her to be hypotensive and tachycardic with a raised jugular venous pressure. A diagnosis of cardiac tamponade was made and was transferred to ...

Reintubation indications include emergent anesthesia intubation for postoperative complications such as significant bleeding or cardiac tamponade requiring urgent reoperation, altered consciousness (Glasgow Coma Scale [GCS] score < 12), cardiac arrest or malignant arrhythmias, severe hemodynamic instability...
The TTE revealed a large pericardial effusion consistent with a cardiac tamponade. A pericardiocentesis was performed and the patient was admitted for further analysis. A CT scan identified a 3×65 mm irregular mass in the pericardium of the right atrium (Figure 9). He underwent cardiac ...
[6] It is vitally important that tamponade remains in your differential in COVD-19 patients as it can cause disastrous hemodynamic collapse very quickly in an already critically ill patient population. Figure 5. CT scan of the chest with contrast revealing scattered, patchy, bilateral, ground ...
Using the sub-xiphoid view for needle guidance can help decrease the risk of iatrogenic cardiac tamponade [9]. Maizel et al. [10] assessed whether the use of the sub-xiphoid window could be used as an accurate alternative in the absence of the apical view in the management of hemodynamic...
