Haemorrhagic peritonitis as a late complication of echocardiography guided pericardiocentesis.
Clinically significant pericardial effusion is an uncommon complication after cardiac surgery. Pericardiocentesis can be performed either through a mini-sternotomy or under echocardiography guidance. Echocardiography guidance is a relatively safe procedure and it avoids the need for another general anaesthetic. However, in this post cardiac surgical patient echocardiography guided pericardiocen...
متن کاملRight ventricular perforation as a complication of fluoroscopy-guided pericardiocentesis.
A 77-year-old woman presented to our emergency department with worsening shortness of breath. She was hemodynamically stable. Initial work-up was significant for hemoglobin 10.3 g/dl and enlarged cardiac silhouette on the chest X-ray. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a large circumferential pericardial effusion and dilated inferior vena cava. There was no right chamber collapse. Therapeuti...
متن کاملA novel in-plane technique for ultrasound-guided pericardiocentesis.
Ultrasound-guided procedures are becoming very common in emergency medicine and critical care. Ultrasound guidance for pericardiocentesis has been shown to reduce errors as compared with the landmark-based technique. A simplified in-plane ultrasound-guided pericardiocentesis allows the clinician an opportunity to visualize the needle and the guide wire during the procedure. In addition, post pr...
متن کاملThe GnRH Pulse Generator
The pulsatile secretion of hormones is an efficient way of coding a large variety of chemical messages. The GnRH pulse pattern determines which gonadotropin is released when and at what concentration, prescribing a detailed set of instructions to the gonads that produce changes in the steroid hormone milieu. Although GnRH neurons possess some inherent rhythmicity, they are diffusely situated wi...
متن کاملCompact Nanosecond Pulse Generator
A compact nanosecond pulse generator was designed and tested. The generator has a specially designed unit consisting of an HCEIcap 1000.2 capacitor and a multigap switch. The total inductance of the unit is 20 nH. The modifications made in the design allowed an increase in energy density up to 370 J/l at an electric field strength of 200 kV/mm. The volume of the capacitor active part is 2.3 l. ...
