Question 17

pericardiocentesis x2 methods

Answer 17

left 5th ICS near the sternal border - needle applied perpendicular to chest wall (with echocardiographic guidance) - cardiac notch in left lung and pleura allows a bare area

left sub-xiphersternal approach - needle applied (with echocardiographic guidance) at an angle pointing towards left shoulder advancing posteriorly and superiorly

(draining fluid from the pericardium - in cardiac tamponade)
