How do I demonstrate pericardiocentesis?

Open Procedures and select Drain effusion.

Overview

Select cardiac tamponade, then open Procedures in Interventions. Drain effusion applies the modeled successful-drainage endpoint. The local Drainage response help explains the result.

Coexisting myocardial, valve or other disease remains. The procedure does not relieve isolated constrictive disease. Not performed restores the undrained teaching example.

The model does not teach needle placement, drainage volume, procedural timing or management of complications. Use the paused reference for the intervention’s clinical context.
