Percutaneous pericardiocentesis for pericardial effusion: predictors of mortality and outcomes [PDF]
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? [PDF]
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.

Initial Experience with a Novel Pericardiocentesis Training Simulator Incorporating a Three-dimensional Printed Cardiac Model [PDF]
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.

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.

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.
