Pulsus paradoxus occurs not only with severe cardiac tamponade, but also with asthma, obstructive sleep apnea and croup.
32.
The benefactor dies, after being initially stabilized following a femoral artery catheterization, from causes attributed to pericardial tamponade.
33.
This can be done by mechanically blocking the holes ( tamponade effect ), or by inducing a blood clot to form.
34.
While hemopericardium itself is not deadly, it can lead to cardiac tamponade, a condition that is fatal if left untreated.
35.
This compression, called cardiac tamponade, is often associated with hemopericardium and can be fatal if not diagnosed and treated promptly.
36.
While hemopericardium itself is not fatal, it may lead to cardiac tamponade, which can be deadly if not treated promptly.
37.
The pericardial window procedure decreases the incidence of postoperative pericardial tamponade and new-onset atrial fibrillation after the open heart surgery.
38.
If the drainage volume drops off, and the blood pressure goes down, this can suggest tamponade due to chest tube clogging.
39.
Examples include tracheal intubation, and the balloon tamponade with a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube ( a tube into the gastrointestinal tract ).
40.
When fluid builds up in the pericardium this is called pericardial effusion, which when it causes acute heart failure is called cardiac tamponade.
