Robot-Assisted Pericardial Drainage
Pericardial effusions compress the heart, and lead to decrease in cardiac output with haemodynamic collapse. The treatment of PE remains experimental (i.e. not standardized, based on the clinician’s experience) due to lack of large randomized studies. Available treatments differ from observation with/ without anti-inflammatory chemotherapy to pericardiocentesis with/without percutaneus catheter...

متن کاملProlonged pericardial drainage using a soft drain reduces pericardial effusion and need for additional pericardial drainage following orthotopic heart transplantation.
OBJECTIVES Pericardial effusion can cause haemodynamic compromise after heart transplantation. We identified the effects of soft drains on the development of pericardial effusion. METHODS We enrolled 250 patients ≥17 years of age who underwent heart transplantation between July 1999 and April 2012 and received two conventional tubes (n = 96; 32 French), or two tubes with a soft drain (n = 154...
متن کاملPhysiology of pericardial fluid production and drainage
The pericardium is one of the serosal cavities of the mammals. It consists of two anatomical structures closely connected, an external sac of fibrous connective tissue, that is called fibrous pericardium and an internal that is called serous pericardium coating the internal surface of the fibrous pericardium (parietal layer) and the heart (visceral layer) forming the pericardial space. Between ...

SIR,-On behalf of my coauthors, I wish to thank Sir Eric Riches and Dr S L 0 Jackson for their comments (24 November, p 1367). In our enthusiasm to persuade others to adopt the domiciliary approach to long-term urethral catheter management we did not stray into an account of alternative measures, some of which are better suited to hospitalised patients. Sir Eric and Dr Jackson have correctly st...
