Diagnostics on Demand: Cardiac tamponade

To help you succeed in your clinical rotations, we're bringing you #DiagnosticsOnDemand! These short and sweet clips from our Clinical Sciences videos will walk you through various steps and exams to diagnose a condition. Today we're reviewing cardiac tamponade.

Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening condition characterized by excessive fluid accumulation in the pericardial sac. The excess fluid exerts pressure on the heart and decreases the filling of the cardiac chambers, eventually reducing cardiac output.

Patients with cardiac tamponade are typically hemodynamically unstable and may quickly develop cardiovascular collapse and cardiac arrest, so they require prompt recognition and treatment with emergent drainage of the pericardial fluid to restore cardiac output.
