AB  - Cardiac  tamponade  is  a  rare  condition  in  daily  ED  practice  but  in  need  of  recognition.  If  a  pericardial  effusion  compromises  hemodynamics,  pericardiocentesis  is  lifesaving.  Blood  or  fluid  filling  the  pericardial  space  can  cause  tamponade,  with  the  latter  dictated  by  the  pace  and  volume  of  either  material  accruing.  The  cause  of  cardiac  tamponade  may  be  determined  by  fluid  analysis  after  pericardiocentesis  (Table  34-1).1-4  In  oncology  patients,  look  carefully  for  this  as  a  cause  of  weakness,  breathing  difficulty,  syncope,  or  chest  pain.
