Cardiac tamponade is a serious medical emergency and must be treated immediately.
a stab wound to the heart can result in cardiac tamponade
Cardiac tamponade has an incidence of two in 10,000 the general U.S. population. Approximately 2% of cases are attributed to injuries that penetrate the chest.
cardiogenic
When cardiac tamponade is suspected, accurate diagnosis can be life-saving. The most accurate way to identify this condition is by using a test called an echocardiogram.
Cardiac tamponade
Decreased Cardiac output r/t slow heart rate supplying inadequate amount of blood for body function. Ineffective Tissue perfusion:cerebral r/t decreased cardiac output secondary to bradycardia
Cardiac tamponade
Bradycardia
AFTER CPR
Pericardial aspiration is a procedure where a needle is inserted into the pericardial sac surrounding the heart to remove excess fluid, relieving pressure on the heart and improving cardiac function. This procedure is typically done to diagnose and treat conditions like pericarditis or cardiac tamponade.
Increases risk for alteration in tissue perfusion related to decreased cardiac output as evidenced by bradycardia. This is what i have.... I need 2 more! :)
