Should Emergent Pericardiocentesis Be Added to Pediatric ICU Training? [PDF]
Case Reports in CardiologyPurulent pericarditis can be rapidly fatal if not diagnosed and treated promptly. We present a case of purulent pericarditis that progressed to cardiac tamponade, necessitating emergent bedside pericardiocentesis.

In-Hospital Mortality Among Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Pericardiocentesis for Pericardial Effusion with and Without Malignancy [PDF]
Current OncologyBackground: Despite the high prevalence of malignant pericardial effusions (MPEs), the differences in mortality between those undergoing pericardiocentesis for MPE versus non-malignancy pericardial effusions (NMPEs) are not well characterized. To address

What is the ideal approach for emergent pericardiocentesis using point-of-care ultrasound guidance?
World Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2021 BACKGROUND Traditionally performed using a subxiphoid approach, the increasing use of point-of-care ultrasound in the emergency department has made other approaches (parasternal and apical) for pericardiocentesis viable.

Percutaneous pericardiocentesis for pericardial effusion: predictors of mortality and outcomes
Internal and Emergency Medicine, 2021 Pericardial effusion can dangerously precipitate patient’s hemodynamic stability and requires prompt intervention in case of tamponade. We investigated potential predictors of in-hospital mortality, a composite outcome of in-hospital mortality ...
