tamponade, pericardial effusion, echocardiography, quantification.Abstract
The echocardiogram is a non-invasive technique, specially useful in emergency situations such as cardiac tamponade because it is fast and safe.
The objective of this article is to review the technical aspects for assessing the hemodynamic compromise on cardiac chambers in patients with pericardial effusion
