This loculated pericardial effusion is causing a unusual localized compression on the LV. Also a mass like structure is seen within the effusion. A large pleural effusion is also seen (largest area of black)

  • I am studying the cardiovascualr system in human physiology and they don't go into much detail (sadly). What is a loculated pericardial effusion?

  • A loculated effusion is simply an effusion, collection of fluid, that is "bound" to one area within the pericardium. As

  • Huh? Whats your problem? Pericardial effusion IS BEST demonstrated in Long axis parasternal view--which shows extent of the effusion. If it was my relative--I would like to see it on this view--so I can see the severity of it-- Where the hell they find you? New Tech I see? Its a collaborative comment on my part, whats yours? Find it and be a good tech my ass--you don't know shit--Rookie.

  • finally, a brain being used

  • was there an attempt to check for aortic dissection?

  • You know the scariest thing I remember about this is when the doctor is watching this in silence and total concentration and you don't know exactly what he sees.

  • just a regular pericardial effusion with fibrin clots(not a mass/tumor).First I thought it is perforation on the site of infarction to the pericardium,with blood clots.

  • Looks like a mass in the pericardium. tamponade? the pericardial is the first layer underneath the LV, and the pleural is under that.

  • Pericardial effusion is best demonstrated in the long axis, parasternal view especially with a co-existing pleural effusion, which i think was minimally shown here...although the short axis view did some justice. Is that thrombus? (0:15)

  • The pleural effusion has to be evacuated first
