Cardiac Tamponade Flashcards
What is the fluid that prevents friction during heartbeats?
Pericardial fluid
What occurs when there is less than 30cc of Pericardial fluid?
Pericarditis/Pericardial Friction Rub
What occurs when there is more than 30cc of Pericardial fluid?
Cardiac Tamponade
What are the causes of Cardiac Tamponade?
- Chemotherapy
- Pericarditis
- Autoimmune condition
What can be heard upon auscultation of a patient with cardiac tamponade?
Distant heart sounds/muffled heart sounds
