Pericardial Fluid Gas Analysis in Hemorrhagic Pericardial Tamponade

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1979
Nine patients with hemorrhagic pericardial tamponade were studied to determine the localizing value of gas analysis of pericardial fluid in therapeutic pericardiocentesis. The aspirate and the central venous blood was analyzed simultaneously for partial pressure of oxygen (PO2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2), and hematocrit at the time of ...

Pericardial-fluid Complement: Normal Values

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1979
Reports of low pericardial-fluid complement levels in systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis have been difficult to interpret, as few data are available to describe complement concentrations in patients without pericardial disease. The authors therefore determined normal values under standardized conditions of collection, storage, and ...

Pericardial-Fluid Complement

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1973
Excerpt To the editor: The article "Rheumatoid Pericarditis" in the December 1972 issue (pp. 837-844) mentions that hemolytic complement (CH50) was measured simultaneously in serum and pericardial ...

Bloody Pericardial Fluid

JAMA, 1978
Clinically notable pericardial effusions developed in three patients with renal failure. Pericardiocentesis showed hemorrhagic fluid, the source of which was not apparent. Simultaneous determinations of Pco 2 , Po 2 , and pH values showed a substantial increase in Pco 2 levels and decrease in Po 2 , pH, and bicarbonate levels in the pericardial ...

Doppler velocimetry of fetal pericardial fluid

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2009
AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the flow of normal fetal pericardial fluid (PF) with increasing gestational age using Doppler velocimetry.MethodNinety‐five fetuses between 18 and 37 weeks of gestation with PF within the normal range were studied. PF was measured in 4‐chamber view using M‐mode or real‐time ultrasound.

Proteomics analysis of human pericardial fluid

PROTEOMICS, 2013
Pericardial fluid (PF) is considered as a biochemical window of heart. To date, there have been limited attempts to perform an in‐depth analysis of the PF proteome. In this study, an SDS‐PAGE‐LC‐MS/MS platform was utilized to explore depleted PF, which showed great coverage of low‐abundant proteins.

Nonuniform distribution of normal pericardial fluid

Basic Research in Cardiology, 1990
It has been suggested that pericardial fluid functions as a lubricant rather than a means of transmitting pericardial pressure from one region of the heart to another. Since the functional behavior of pericardial fluid depends on fluid thickness, we measured pericardial volume and fluid distribution.

Diagnostic Usefulness of Pericardial Fluid Cytology

Chest, 1989
Although widely used, pericardial fluid cytology has not been adequately validated. We pooled 22 new cases with 71 previously reported cases having both fluid cytology and pericardial histopathologic examination. Cytology was correct in 87 of 93 cases (diagnostic accuracy, 94 percent). Sensitivity was 87 percent and specificity was 100 percent.

Relationship between Pericardial Pressure and Lymphatic Pericardial Fluid Transport in Sheep

Microvascular Research, 2000
We investigated the relationship between pericardial pressure and the volumetric lymphatic clearance rate of pericardial fluid in sheep. A single catheter perfusion system was established to deliver tracer to the pericardial cavity and control pericardial pressure.

Pericardial fluid distribution: CT analysis.

Radiology, 1987
Ultrasound and computed tomographic (CT) descriptions of pericardial effusion commonly indicate that fluid accumulates posteriorly within the pericardial sac before filling other areas. However, in a retrospective study of 68 cases of pericardial effusion identified on chest CT, most of the effusions were noted to be located solely or predominantly ...
