Wednesday Wrap-up: 12/12/2012

For those of you who couldn’t make it, we started conference with a great sim case that reviewed cardiac tamponade and how to perform an emergent pericardiocentesis. I’ve posted below the video that Dr. Coquillon wanted to share with everyone that shows the apical approach using ultrasound by SonoSite (no financial relationship to disclose!).

 

 

Would love to hear from everyone about their experiences performing emergent pericardiocentesis in the ED and how you choose which approach to use. Leave your thoughts below. Thanks for reading. JK
