May aid needle position confirmation in pericardiocentesis; hypothesis-generating case report requiring prospective validation.
Case Report (n=1)
Routine echocardiographic monitoring with contrast can help detect and confirm needle displacement during pericardiocentesis, potentially avoiding procedural complications.
Salazar et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Cardiac tamponade (n=1). Contrast echocardiography was evaluated on Detection of needle displacement. Contrast echocardiography successfully confirmed the displacement of the pericardiocentesis needle during an urgent procedure for cardiac tamponade.
