Pericardiocentesis: ultrasound guidance is essential

The Ultrasound Journal, 2022
Background Pericardial effusion is a common entity which may have important implications in patient’s prognosis. In several cases, pericardiocentesis is indicated for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes.

Unveiling the causes of pericardial effusion in a contemporary case series of pericardiocentesis in Latin America

Scientific Reports, 2022
Pericardial effusions requiring pericardiocentesis have multiple causes that vary among geographical regions and health contexts. This procedure can be performed for diagnostic or therapeutic indications.

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 ...

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.

A Novel, Low-cost, Low-fidelity Pericardiocentesis Teaching Model

Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2021
Introduction Pericardiocentesis is a high-risk/low-frequency procedure important to emergency medicine (EM). However, due to case rarity it is not often performed on a patient during residency training.

Initial Experience with a Novel Pericardiocentesis Training Simulator Incorporating a Three-dimensional Printed Cardiac Model

Journal of Innovations in Cardiac Rhythm Management, 2021
Pericardial effusion is a rare but serious complication in cardiac electrophysiology procedures. To avoid progression to acute tamponade and reduce the risk of adverse patient outcomes, emergent pericardiocentesis is often necessary.

Prognostic Factors and Overall Survival After Pericardiocentesis in Patients With Cancer and Thrombocytopenia

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Pericardiocentesis is an important diagnostic and therapeutic tool for cancer-associated pericardial effusion. Limited safety and outcomes data exists regarding the management of malignancy-related pericardial effusion in patients with ...

Etiology of Pericardial Effusion and Outcomes Post Pericardiocentesis in the Western Region of Saudi Arabia: A Single-center Experience

Cureus, 2020
Background Pericardial effusion is the accumulation of blood or excess fluid in the cavity between the heart and the pericardium sac. Pericardial effusion can be caused by several etiologies, including malignant and non-malignant causes ...
