Diminished cardiac function from edema, increased venous pressure

102
Q

what is wrong here

A

Congestive heart failure

103
Q

What is wrong here

A

A

Neoplasia

106
Q

Pericardial effusion can cause cardiac ___

A

Tamponade

107
Q

What is cardiac tamponade

A

Decreased venous return, ventricular filling, and cardiac output

108
Q

What intercostal space is pericardiocentesis performed

A

4-6th

109
