Ultrasound Podcast - PERICARDIAL TAMPONADE. LEARN THIS. KNOW THIS.

Turns out that pericardial tamponade is bad. Your patient dies if you don't diagnose and treat it. The problem is, this is something you don't do very often, right? So you HAVE to know this cold! Study it, learn it, imagine doing it, and then be ready when it happens.

In pw and cw doppler, if 'insp and exp' is not written on the bottom just remember that in the right heart the pressures increase with inspiration and decrease with expiration; opposite is correct for the left side. So on the MV when the E/A is tall, that is with expiration, and when it is small that would be for inspiration. BUT I do agree with him that it does NOT matter. Just a little tip.
