Cardiac tamponade secondary to tension pneumopericardium from penetrating chest trauma.
Cardiac tamponade secondary to air is rare. Pneumopericardium is most commonly encountered in neonates, often secondary to positive pressure ventilation. 1-3 In adults blunt trauma is the main cause of pneumopericardium. Cardiac tamponade occurs in roughly one-third of such patients. 1 A 24-year-old man presented to the Tshepong casualty department with a stabbed chest. His vital signs were ini...
متن کاملCardiac tamponade due to pneumopericardium
Tension pneumopericardium is an uncommon complication of mechanical ventilaton. It may indeed be life-threatening for hemodynamic compromise and circulatory collapse. We present a case of tension pneumopericardium in a patient with a portable ventilator during intrahospital transport for computed tomography scan. Although timely rescue measures were performed, the patient died finally. We repor...
متن کاملCardiac tamponade due to pneumopericardium.
Pneumopericardium is rare in acute asthma and cardiac tamponade has not been reported. The case is reported of a 20 year old asthmatic patient in whom assisted ventilation and high airway pressures resulted in tension pneumopericardium with clinical signs of cardiac tamponade that were relieved by pericardial aspiration.
متن کاملTension Pneumopericardium Secondary to Gastropericardial Fistula Presenting as Acute Pericarditis With Cardiac Tamponade Physiology.
Pneumopericardium demonstrated by radiolucency within the pericardial space. Online Video 1 demonstrates this finding in motion. A 44-year-old man with prior Nissen fundoplication presented with chest pain, hypotension, tachycardia, and inferior ST-segment elevation on electrocardiography. Coronary angiography demonstrated normal coronaries, and left ventriculography revealed radiolucency in th...
متن کاملPneumopericardium Leading to Cardiac Tamponade in a Patient with Lung Cancer
Pneumopericardium resulting in cardiac tamponade in patients with lung cancer is not documented. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung complicated by pneumopericardium and subsequent cardiac tamponade. The patient underwent an urgent pericardial window with rapid improvement in symptoms. We discuss the possible pathogenesis and treatment options for this rare condition.
