Pericardiocentesis – How to do it
Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2015Pericardiocentesis is an important diagnostic and therapeutic technique, with the potential for significant morbidity and mortality if performed incorrectly. This article attempts to cover the anatomy, preparation, and techniques necessary to successfully perform pericardiocentesis.

THE ELECTROCARDIOGRAM AS A SAFEGUARD IN PERICARDIOCENTESIS
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1956• Damage to the myocardium during pericardial paracentesis has occasionally been severe enough to result in pericardial tamponade and death. Anamil experiments here described showed that contact of the tip of the needle with the myocardium could be detected electrocardiographically if the needle was connected in such a way as to constitute an exploring

Pericardiocentesis, the percutaneous drainage of the pericardial effusion, is the technique of choice for the treatment of cardiac tamponade. In addition, it could be useful for diagnostic purposes in specific situations. The pericardial puncture could be associated to serious complications and as it could be performed in a wide variety of clinical ...

Ultrasonically guided pericardiocentesis
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1973Abstract With use of a specially designed ultrasonic transducer with a central lumen, pericardial effusions could be detected and, if indicated, aspirated. A standard needle was directed through the hole in the ultrasonic transducer into the pericardial sac. The path of the needle tip as it entered the effusion could be followed Ultrasonically.

The clinical anatomy of pericardiocentesis
British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2007The heart and the roots of the great vessels are contained within the conical fibrous pericardium, the apex of which is fused with the adventitia of the great vessels and the base with the central tendon of the diaphragm. Anteriorly it is closely related to the body of the sternum, inferior to the angle of Louis, and is tethered to the back of the ...

Evolution of the pericardiocentesis technique
Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2018Pericardiocentesis is a valuable technique for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade, although it may be associated with potentially serious complications. Through the years, many different imaging approaches have been described to reduce the complication rate of the procedure.

Percutaneous catheter pericardiocentesis
European Heart Journal, 1980Catheter pericardiocentesis is a very useful technique for removing large pericardial effusions, and for this purpose is probably safer than standard pericardiocentesis by needle. It is an easy procedure to perform when proper equipment is available.

Pericardiocentesis: Insertion of a Pericardial Catheter
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1975AbstractPericardiocentesis is a lifesaving procedure in cardiac tamponade but is associated with significant and often life threatening complications. A patient is described in whom a catheter was inserted into the pericardium. This provided for prolonged pericardial drainage of purulent fluid and has the potential for decreasing the risk of this ...

Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening condition that may require the urgent removal of pericardial fluid. Therefore, the pericardiocentesis procedure should be part of the skills of physicians treating critically ill patients. The pericardiocentesis technique has evolved from a blind and unguided procedure, prone to complications, to a safer and more
