  • I believe the doctor said it was pericardial effusion I have excessive liquid are my heart

  • it's like a whole different world in there! so cool!

  • Thank you so much for the video. had a patient that had this done and i wanted to see the procedure. The patient also had a JP drain that was removed on day 2.

  • Lorena.... u might need diuretics.. which are pills that help u urinate more, thus helps drain extra fluid from all parts of ur body.

    thats temp tho u might need something more permanent. What ur exact condition called.

  • hi im 23 year old female, I have extra fluid around my heart line and at night it makes it hard for me to breathe. i have to put two pillows behind my head so i can sit more in a upward position while i sleep if i do not do this routine my chest feels tight and my breatheing becomes more diffucult. i live in new york and i have been to different doctors who are not helpful. what do you suggest i do?

  • was that a pericardisentesis?

  • @jazid85 Pericardial window is like pericardiocentesis except it is a more permanent solution to fluid build up. Dr. Jaroszewski

  • @mayoclinic can we call it pericardiotomy ?
