The extracellular fluid in the pericardial space had a typical bicarbonate concentration of 7.6 mM but a remarkably high CO2 partial pressure of 36 kPa at pH 7.52 and 20°C. The discrepancy between this high CO2 partial pressure and the comparably low values for water-breathing decapods ...
Effusions are often not distributed uniformly in the pericardial space. Hemorrhagic pericardial fluid may serve as a marker of disease (e.g., malignancy) or trauma (e.g., ventricular rupture, coronary artery trauma). Hemopericardium may appear echo free at its onset because echo-free fluid is...
structures closely connected, an external sac of fibrous connective tissue, that is called fibrous pericardium and an internal that is called serous pericardium coating the internal surface of the fibrous pericardium (parietal layer) and the heart (visceral layer) forming the pericardial space. Between...
Figure 2. The intracellular fluid (ICF) is the fluid within cells. The interstitial fluid (IF) is part of the extracellular fluid (ECF) between the cells. Blood plasma is the second part of the ECF. Materials travel between cells and the plasma in capillaries through the IF. Body fluids ...
Intravascular body fluid.Intravascular fluid forms almost ~12% or 1/3rd of the extracellular body fluid. Intravascular fluid is the fluid present in the intravascular space in the blood vessels (Figure 3). Example: blood plasma. The intravascular fluid is rich in protein content, sodium chloride...
• Pericardiocentesis and prolonged catheter drainage-Simple pericardiocentesis alone has unacceptable recurrence rates of up to 90%. However, using a guidewire, a pigtail catheter may be inserted into the pericardial space and left in place until the drainage becomes minimal. Percutaneous catheter...
What is the function of fluid that fills the pericardial sac? What are the 2 functions of the tunica media? How does the structure of vertebrae aid in their function? Describe the functions of true fats, phospholipids, and steroids.
New Technique for Rapid, Safe Transvenous Access Into the Pericardial Space: A Novel Approach for Local Cardiac Drug Delivery The pericardial sac provides a potential reservoir for local delivery of inotropes, antiarrhythmics, coronary dilators, and growth factors. A substantial barrier to the developm...
