PY - 2016 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part Two Advanced Exam AB - Cardiac tamponade is a clinical syndrome in which fluid accumulates within the pericardial sac, leading to increased pericardial pressures that compress the chambers of the heart and restrict cardiac filling. Cardiac tamponade can be caused by myocardial infarction, myocarditis, cardiac surgery, Dressler’s syndrome, dissecting aortic aneurysms, and iatrogenic trauma that may occur during percutaneous coronary intervention, electrophysiology studies, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Blunt and penetrating trauma may rapidly lead to hemopericardium and subsequently acute tamponade. Pericardial effusions, which can lead to tamponade physiology, also have a variety of etiologies: infection, malignancy, autoimmune, uremia, and collagen vascular disease, among others.
