  2. Cardiac tamponade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_tamponade

    Cardiac tamponade, also known as pericardial tamponade (/ ˌ t æ m. p ə ˈ n eɪ d / [4]), is a compression of the heart due to pericardial effusion (the build-up of pericardial fluid in the sac around the heart). [2] Onset may be rapid or gradual. [2]

  3. Pericardiocentesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pericardiocentesis

    Pericardiocentesis can be used to diagnose and treat cardiac tamponade. [3] [4] Cardiac tamponade is a medical emergency in which excessive accumulation of fluid within the pericardium (pericardial effusion) creates increased pressure. [5] This prevents the heart from filling normally with blood.

  4. Purulent pericarditis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purulent_pericarditis

    Purulent Pericarditis; Echocardiogram showing pericardial effusion with signs of cardiac tamponade: Specialty: Cardiology: Symptoms: substernal chest pain (exacerbated supine and with breathing deeply), dyspnea, fever, rigors/chills, and cardiorespiratory signs (i.e., tachycardia, friction rub, pulsus paradoxus, pericardial effusion, cardiac tamponade, pleural effusion)

  5. Tamponade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamponade

    A very large hemorrhagic pericardial effusion due to malignancy as seen on ultrasound which was causing tamponade. closed arrow: the heart, open arrow: the effusion. Tamponade (/ ˌ t æ m. p ə ˈ n eɪ d / [1]) is the closure or blockage (as of a wound or body cavity) by or as if by a tampon, especially to stop bleeding. [2]

  6. Pericardial window - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pericardial_window

    [2] [3] It is the most common procedure to treat pericardial effusion, particularly if caused by cancer. [4] Untreated, these can lead to death. The pericardial window decreases the incidence of postoperative pericardial tamponade and new-onset atrial fibrillation after open-heart surgery. [5]

  7. Pericardial effusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pericardial_effusion

    A pericardial effusion with enough pressure to adversely affect heart function is called cardiac tamponade. [1] Pericardial effusions can cause cardiac tamponade in acute settings with fluid as little as 150mL. In chronic settings, however, fluid can accumulate anywhere up to 2L before an effusion causes cardiac tamponade.

  8. Obstructive shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstructive_shock

    A pericardial effusion is fluid in the pericardial sac. When large enough, the pressure compresses the heart. This causes shock by preventing the heart from filling with blood. This is called cardiac tamponade. The chambers of the heart can collapse from this pressure. The right heart has thinner walls and collapses more easily.

  9. Beck's triad (cardiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beck's_triad_(cardiology)

    Beck's triad is a collection of three medical signs associated with acute cardiac tamponade, a medical emergency when excessive fluid accumulates in the pericardial sac around the heart and impairs its ability to pump blood. The signs are low arterial blood pressure, distended neck veins, and distant, muffled heart sounds. [1]
