Clinically significant pericardial effusion is an uncommon complication after cardiac surgery. Pericardiocentesis can be performed either through a mini-sternotomy or under echocardiography guidance. Echocardiography guidance is a relatively safe procedure and it avoids the need for another general anaesthetic. However, in this post cardiac surgical patient echocardiography guided pericardiocentesis was complicated several days later by haemorrhagic peritonitis.
具有临床意义的心包积液是心脏手术后一种罕见的并发症。心包穿刺术可通过胸骨下段小切口或在超声心动图引导下进行。超声心动图引导是一种相对安全的操作,且无需再次进行全身麻醉。然而,在这位心脏手术后的患者中,超声心动图引导下的心包穿刺术在数天后并发了出血性腹膜炎。
