Patients with cardiac tamponade and hemodynamic compromise should have emergency pericardiocentesis.
2.
The fluid can be removed from the pericardial sac using a syringe in a procedure called pericardiocentesis.
3.
Some pre-hospital providers will have facilities to provide pericardiocentesis, which can be life-saving.
4.
Regardless of the underlying cause of the hemopericardium, pericardiocentesis has shown to be the best treatment method for the condition.
5.
Hemopericardium can be diagnosed with a chest X-ray or a chest ultrasound, and is most commonly treated with pericardiocentesis.
6.
When discovered, hemopericardium is usually treated by pericardiocentesis, a procedure wherein a needle is used to remove the fluid from the pericardial sac.

10.
Pericardiocentesis, a procedure in which a needle is used to drain the effusion, can utilize ultrasound guidance of a needle to decrease the risk of hitting lungs, heart or other vital organs
