| ==Echocardiography==
| |
| [[Echocardiography]] demonstrates the collection of pericardial fluid. The best view to visualize a pericardial effusion is the subcostal view. Signs of more advanced tamponade include indentation of the atrium and ventricle, and in later stages collapse of these structures. The location of the fluid should be characterized so that the feasability and safety of [[pericardiocentesis]] can be assessed. For example, the location of the fluid should be characterized as either circumferential, posterior or anterior. The cm of fluid thickness should be characterized. The presence of loculations should be described. Usually [[pericardiocentesis]] can be performed if there is over 0.5 cm of anterior fluid.
