A rare complication of pericardiocentesis: Pneumopericardium [PDF]
Cardiovascular Surgery and Interventions, 2022 Pneumopericardium is a rare complication of pericardiocentesis and defined as the presence of air in the pericardial space. Pneumopericardium usually occurs after trauma. However, pneumopericardium due to iatrogenic procedures, such as pericardiocentesis,

Coronary artery perforation secondary to lifesaving pericardiocentesis for cardiac tamponade: a case report [PDF]
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2021 Background Pericardiocentesis is frequently performed when fluid needs to be removed from the pericardial sac, for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes, however, it can still be a high-risk procedure in inexperienced hands and/or an emergent setting.

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

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 ...

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.
