1. Definition: acute inflammation of pericardium, etiology unknown or infection 2. Pathophysiology: membrane becomes inflamed, roughened, exudate may form 3. Clinical Manifestations: a.chest pain b. restlessness, anxiety c. low grade fever d. friction rub 4. Complications: a. Pericardial effusion: excess pericardial fluid. Can compress adjoining structures - pulmonary tissues b. Cardiac tamponade: effusion inc in size or occurs rapidly. Fluid and pressure compromises heart’s ability to fill and empty 1. pulses paradoxus 2. muffled heart sounds 3. poorly palpable pulses 5. Diagnostic Tests: a. EKG b. echocardiogram
6. Treatment: a. treat cause b. pain meds c. pericardiocentesis |

excess pericardial fluid. Can compress adjoining structures - pulmonary tissues |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
an emergency condition in which fluid accumulates in the pericardium (the sac in which the heart is enclosed). If the fluid significantly elevates the pressure on the heart it will prevent the heart's ventricles from filling properly. This in turn leads to a low stroke volume. The end result is ineffective pumping of blood, shock, and often death. |
