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.
