Implication

May inform postoperative tamponade assessment; case-report data leave open diagnostic utility pending prospective validation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
18 patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass
I
Intervention
Measurement of postoperative pericardial pressure using a solid state transducer for up to 10 days
O
Outcome
Pericardial pressure (mean and phasic waveforms)surrogate

Postoperative pericardial pressure measurement reveals that a significant portion of left ventricular diastolic pressure is supported by the pericardium and can aid in the clinical diagnosis of pericardial tamponade.
