Tamponade
a method of restraining hemorrhage, permitting the drainage of fluid, or isolating infected areas from healthy tissues during surgery by plugging a wound or body cavity with a gauze tampon, an omentum, or muscles. Cardiac tamponade is a state of pathological compression of the heart generally resulting from an accumulation of blood in the pericardial cavity owing to a wound. The condition is treated by means of surgery. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | Twenty-five brief case studies narrate the history, symptoms, and diagnosis of patients suffering from abdominal aortic aneurysm, temporal arteritis, chronic mesenteric ischemia, pericardial tamponade, oncologic cardiomyopathy, brugada syndrome, and pulmonary embolism. Exploring a pelvic haematoma often results in uncontrolled venous bleeding as the tamponade effect of the retroperitoneal tissue is lost. This case report illustrates that, in an emergency, readily available materials can be used to effect adequate tamponade of nasal bleeding so that a patient can be transferred safely. |
