Occurs when blood leaks into the space between the pericardium
Cardiac tamponade
and the pericardial sac
Beck triad: the presence of jugular vein distention, muffled heart sounds, and
Signs and symptoms of cardiac
a
tamponade:
narrowing pulse pressure where the systolic and diastolic
blood pressures start to merge.
-Skin may be cool, clammy, and ashen
-High BP
Signs of cardiogenic shock: -Rapid, shallow breathing
-Weak, irregular pulse
-Anxiety, nausea
