The session follows cardiac tamponade through urgent drainage planning, airway and induction choices, circulatory collapse before decompression, and postoperative weakness, then concludes with three focused Question Drills.

Case stem

57-year-old female, 72 kg and 168 cm (BMI 25) with three-day progressive dyspnea and syncope; ED echo shows 2-cm circumferential effusion with RA/RV diastolic collapse.

PMH: metastatic breast cancer on paclitaxel, HTN on amlodipine, myasthenia gravis on pyridostigmine, paroxysmal AF on apixaban held 24 h, mild asthma.

PSH: lumpectomy 2019; port-a-cath 2020.

PE: BP 86/54 mm Hg with pulsus paradoxus 18 mm Hg, HR 118 bpm, RR 24/min, SpO₂ 94 % 4 L NC, Temp 36.9 °C; muffled heart sounds, JVD 6 cm, clear lungs; airway Mallampati II.

Labs: Hgb 10.8 g/dL, Plt 180 × 10³/µL, INR 1.3, Na 136 mEq/L, K 4.2 mEq/L, Cr 1.0 mg/dL, Lactate 3.8 mmol/L.

Studies: ECG low-voltage QRS, electrical alternans; CXR globular silhouette.
